Welcome to the homepage for information about performance projects by The Oakland 46ers, a ragtag collective of artists and activists who occasionally take to the streets wearing costumes in order to educate our communities about the history-- and future-- of social and environmental justice in California.
Have an idea for a project? We can work with you or your organization to develop ideas for participatory, performance-based actions. We prefer to work with effected community members, rather than just talk about them. Contact us to discuss ideas and availability.
New! Oakland, 1946! is now archived online! Thanks to a grant from the folks over at Deep Oakland, there is now a terrific archive of the Oakland, 1946! re-enactment and rally on their website. Learn about the project and download the script, budget, press materials and more-- hopefully they can help you get started on your own radical street theater adventures. Go to the archive here. While you're there, poke around their interesting collection of words, sounds, and images relating to East Bay history and art.
Until next time, in solidarity,
The Oakland 46ers
