Don’t miss Familiar Strangers, a group exhibition featuring seven Bay Area figurative artists exploring the shifting relationships between memory, identity, and image. Across their practices, these artists consider how personal and collective histories are shaped, obscured, and reimagined, inviting viewers to reflect on how images influence the stories we tell about ourselves and one another.

Familiar Strangers on view through Saturday June 20th.

Familiar Strangers Artist Spotlight: Julianne Wallace Sterling’s most recent paintings are inspired by her photos taken on vacation with her family. These photos are of cherished memories and travels with loved ones. These paintings start from an atmospheric location but quickly dive into magical imaginings of place with light, floral design and shadow. Sterling’s work is fundamentally portraiture, but she has been exploring the figure in the complexity of cityscapes.

Her paintings reframe femme presence as active and resistant, emphasizing camaraderie and autonomy within spaces shaped by the dynamics of looking and being looked at.

We’re ready to celebrate 20 years of Oakland Art Murmur with the spotlight on the artists of East Bay Open Studios. Without artists, we wouldn’t be here! It’s a full day of hands-on art-making activities, live music, a DJ spinning vinyl, performers, food and drinks. We’re closing off the street, where we can dance, make art, and celebrate artists!

Familiar Strangers Artist Spotlight: Pamela Mooney reconfigures found imagery into compositions that are at once familiar and disorienting. Through distortion, color disruption, and chance, her work challenges viewers to unravel embedded meanings while considering the impact our cultural narratives have on the possibilities of the future.

Familiar Strangers is on view through June 20th. Manna Gallery is open Saturdays 12-5, First Friday 5-8 and by appointment.
