Award winning jewelry designer Dorian Webb hosted her 2nd Annual Fundraiser for the Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce Foundation at the Claremont Hotel and Spa. To aid this impactful organization that supports the city’s Black businesses through education, workforce development and community wellness, attendees enjoyed champagne, hors d’oeuvres and desserts as they purchased jewelry. 10% of each sale was donated to the OAACCF to further the Foundation’s visionary work.

Dorian believes that taking the time to savor the small, yet luxurious indulgences in life is what makes it so pleasurable and rewarding.  As a junior at Yale University spending a semester abroad, Dorian came to appreciate the artistry and tradition of Venetian glassblowing. After graduation, she founded her eponymous company to create handcrafted objects that encouraged people to pause to recognize the beauty that surrounds them.

This year, the Silicon Valley African Film Festival celebrated 13 years of connecting Communities, Cultures and Continents with a brilliant line-up of 102 films from 33 countries, all sharing the true stories, hopes and dreams of Africa and its diaspora. Over 50% of the films in our festival were World or North America premieres. From Botswana to Brazil, Cameroon to Canada, Ghana to Guyana, Uganda to United States, the festival centered authentic stories and voices of seasoned and emerging creatives from the African continent and its diaspora. In a bold come back from the global pandemic, the organizers designed a weekend program that engaged, delighted, inspired, provoked and challenged the audience to see a different Africa through the unique lenses of the continent’s seasoned and emerging content creators.

Event: “The New Black Vanguard: Photography between Art and Fashion” Opening Reception
Date: October 5, 2022
Location: MoAD, San Francisco
Photos (60): Agency Moanalani Jeffrey

Featured in the San Francisco Chronicle Datebook and 7×7’s fall arts preview, our highly anticipated fall exhibition, The New Black Vanguard: Photography between Art and Fashion opens today!

Curated by Antwaun Sargent, this exhibition presents fifteen artists, whose vibrant portraits and conceptual images fuse the genres of art and fashion photography in ways that break down long-established boundaries.The images open up conversations around the roles of the Black body and Black lives as subject matter. Collectively, the images celebrate Black creativity and the cross-pollination between art, fashion, and culture in constructing an image.

The work of this international community of Black photographers has been widely viewed in traditional lifestyle magazines from Vogue to Allure, numerous ad campaigns for Dior, Jimmy Choo, and other top brands, and within museums. These artists are reinfusing the contemporary visual vocabulary around beauty and the body with new vitality and substance.

Photographs by Campbell Addy, Arielle Bobb-Willis, Micaiah Carter, Awol Erizku, Nadine Ijewere, Quil Lemons, Namsa Leuba, Renell Medrano, Tyler Mitchell, Jamal Nxedlana, Daniel Obasi, Ruth Ossai, Adrienne Raquel, Dana Scruggs, and Stephen Tayo.

Event: Black Food Summit (2022)
Date: September 9-10, 2022
Location: MoAD, San Francisco | TomKat Ranch, Pescadero
Photos (54): Courtesy of MoAD

A sold-out audience joined MoAD’s Chef-in-Residence, Bryant Terry, for a timely two-day summit inspired by his latest book Black Food: Stories, Art, and Recipes from Across the African Diaspora. The weekend featured thought-provoking panels at MoAD (navigating the ins and outs of publishing, telling compelling stories, effectively using design) followed by a reception with sips, bites, and records spun by DJ Max Champ.

The following day participants gathered at the TomKat Ranch in Pescadero, just outside of San Francisco, for a day of experiential learning and communal leisure (hikes, contemplative writing, gardening, breathwork, and equine activities), including the premiere of Rhythms of the Land, a film by Dr. Gail P. Myers. The day ended with a community supper made by some of the Bay Area’s most talented Black chefs.

Featured presenters and chefs included: Tricia Hersey (The Nap Bishop), Nicole Taylor, Osayi Endolyn, Psyche Williams-Forson, George McCalman, Gail Myers, Natalie Baszile, Klancy Miller, Jamia Wilson, Porscha Burke, Alice Grandoit, Rachel Konte, Kanchan Hunter, and Chris Pearson.
