Reservations are required for all Community Engagement events.

West Oakland-based artist, activist and cultural historian Marcel Diallo and his long-time collaborators transform the Room for Big Ideas (RBI) into an outpost of The Black New World using assemblage altars, multimedia and spiritual commodities. The Black New World Social Aid & Pleasure Club in West Oakland serves the greater Bay Area, yet the philosophical and spiritual reach of organization is Africa-rooted Diaspora culture at its freshest. From New Orleans’ Black Indians, churches and jazz funerals to Marie Laveau and Doctor John; from hoodoo, root work and conjuration to Malcolm X, Martin Luther King and Kwame Turé, YBCA invites you to enter the Black New World, become a citizen, sit a spell and experience a taste of Sanctified Gumbo.
