  • Belonging in Oakland: a Cultural Development Plan
    Belonging in Oakland A CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Spring 2018 Cultural Affairs Division | Economic & Workforce Development Department Prepared by the Cultural Affairs Division Written by Vanessa Whang with contributions from Communities in Collaboration | Comunidades en Colaboración and Alex Werth Dear Oaklanders, It is my great pleasure to present to you Belonging In Oakland: A Cultural Development Plan. This is the first cultural plan Oakland has created in 30 years. It illustrates the vibrant and diverse ways our city understands itself as a community of creativity and care—and how we envision the path forward to maintain our unique identity. It gives voice to the idea that we all belong to each other as Oaklanders and affirms that our civic well-being is deeply rooted in Oakland’s long- term artistic and cultural health. I often refer to our city’s cultural vibrancy as being part of the secret sauce that Oaklanders embody in their daily lives. It’s in our dance moves, our lyrics, our murals, our paintings; the notes of our musi- cians, the wisdom of our cultural bearers, the voices on the stage and in the streets, and in the words of our writers and poets. These cre- ative expressions ensure that we live, work, and play in a city where we all feel a sense of belonging—a sense of Oakland. Thus the guid- ing vision of the plan: Equity is the driving force. Culture is the frame. Belonging is the goal. As part of the process to create the Cultural Plan, we heard from Oak- landers loud and clear that our best self is our rich history, our spunk, and our imagination.

    David Garibaldi 012 Bumpin’ It Up Interview: Mover • Words: Stan Hall • Photos: Rob Shanahan Photo: GaribaldiPhoto: Stock 013 There’s really no debate about it, when anyone says “funk drumming,” David Garibaldi’s name comes up immediately. Long admired for his twisted, slippery, shifting rhythms and relentless determination, he’s taken his natural talent and single-minded focus, coupled with a dedication to constant improvement, and he’s turned it into a signature sound, one permanently linked to the legendary Tower of Power, itself less a band than a musical world unto its own. A poppin’ snare, sneaky ghost notes, an itchy bass-drum foot, and accents and stabs that provide unexpected but perfect punctuation: Dave’s groove bumps it up, and when he plays, nobody can sit still. OLD SCHOOL AND I’d never experienced music with that kind cool about it and mentored me through the THE BROWN SOUND of power, impact and precision. In a way, it whole thing.

  • Reconsidering Occupy Oakland and Its Horizons
    Reconsidering Occupy Oakland and Its Horizons: Media Misframing, Decolonizing Fractures, and Enduring Resistance Hub Madison Marie Alvarado Research Supervisor: Frances Susan Hasso Reader: Jennifer Christine Nash This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Graduation with Distinction in the Program in Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies Duke University Durham, North Carolina 2021 Abstract Reconsidering Occupy Oakland and Its Horizons is an archival study of the creation, reception, evolution, and remembrance of Occupy Oakland using a feminist lens. I investigate how Occupy Oakland’s radically democratic mobilization against economic violence, racism, and police violence was undermined by local and regional news coverage—namely in the San Francisco Chronicle and Oakland Tribune—through framing devices that demonized protesters and delegitimized the movement. I nevertheless found differences between local and regional coverage. Occupy Oakland challenged existing hegemonic boundaries regarding participatory democracy as its activists –seasoned and less experienced people from multiple generations – experimented with horizontal world-building through community structures, methods, and processes. This horizontal radical movement nevertheless struggled with the same divisions and inequalities that existed outside its camps: heteropatriarchy, white supremacy, and classism. The “stickiness” of embodied and structural inequalities persisted in Occupy Oakland camps despite efforts to create a radically egalitarian community. The nature of this stickiness can only be understood by taking seriously the local material and institutional conditions, obstacles, and histories that shaped the spaces of protest and its participants. Though news coverage often describes the movement as a failure, several new projects and coalitions formed during and after Occupy Oakland, illustrating its dynamic legacy and challenging social movement scholarship that reproduces temporal demise frameworks in its analysis.

  • Merced College Jazz Ensemble to Perform with Popular Horn Player Mic Gillette
    N e w s f r o m M e r c e d C o l l e g e (209) 381-6470 3600 M Street Merced, CA 95348-2898 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Robin Shepard May 3, 2012 209.381.6470 MERCED COLLEGE JAZZ ENSEMBLE TO PERFORM WITH POPULAR HORN PLAYER MIC GILLETTE When Merced College’s Jazz MIC GILLETTE Ensemble takes the stage for its spring concert the group will be joined by one of the country’s better known horn players, Mic Gillette. The concert will be held in the Merced College Theater on Saturday, May 19 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 general and $8 for students and seniors. Gillette, a native Californian from the East Bay area, is famous for playing trumpet and trombone in the popular bands Tower of MIC GILLETTE Power, Cold Blood, and the Sons of Champlin, among others. His father, Ray Gillette, was a trombonist with Harry James, Tommy Dorsey, Stan Kenton, and other big bands. Mic Gillette is a child prodigy, having picked up the trumpet and learning to read music by the time he was 4 years old. At the ripe old age of 15, he joined the Gotham City Crime Fighters, which later evolved into Tower of Power. As their reputation as a premier horn-driven band grew, Tower of Power toured with Heart, Rod Stewart, and the Rolling Stones. The band also opened for Santana and Credence Clearwater Revival. As a solo artist Gillette has appeared on hundreds of recordings as a session player.
