Angela Davis — Seize the Time, examines the image, influence, and activism of the Oakland-based icon. Traveling to the West Coast after its debut at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, Seize the Time offers a deeper look into the life of Angela Davis through the lens of race, gender, economics, and policy.

With a focus on her arrest, incarceration, trial, and the national and international campaigns to free her, Seize the Time highlights Davis’s legacy as well as her ongoing role as an important contemporary figure for artists and activists. The exhibition features a range of powerful materials, including contemporary and historical artworks, media, literature, sketches, rare manuscripts of Davis’s philosophical and activist writings, and a dedicated archive on Angela Davis drawn from the collection of Lisbet Tellefsen. On View through June 1.

The Oakland Museum of California also has an exhibit as part of the Gallery of California History about the Black Power movement.
