GIVEAWAY TIME 🥚👀 Celebrating 1 MONTH of  “Mildred Howard: Poetics of Memory”! 

Go behind the scenes of installing “Crossings,” Mildred Howard’s powerful, large-scale installation inspired by the history and trauma of the Middle Passage. For this installation, OMCA preparators hand-carved individual divots to hold each ceramic egg in place, then carefully secured every egg to the structure using a substance similar to orthodontic wax—an intricate process that reflects the care and precision behind bringing this monumental work to life.

GIVEAWAY:
• Comment your guess: how many eggs are in “Crossings”?
• Follow @oaklandmuseumca 
• Winner will receive 2 tickets to OMCA, exclusive goodies, + more surprises 🎁 

Winner announced soon! 🎟️ Tickets at the link in bio!
