Check out what 2020 looked like for us with your support.
Alena Museum is a 501(c)3 nonprofit bringing African Diaspora culture forward through space activation & Afrofuturism in the face of gentrification.
We provide safe spaces for the African Diaspora to cultivate critical culture.
We do this by activating spaces with art installations, hiring artists to lead projects, and working together in community to build powerful creative solutions for clients who share our vision and strive to hold space in a rapidly changing landscape.
HOLD YOUR SPACE
Our programs include a variety of activism, art, health and opportunities to hold space and push culture forward.
With your generous support, Alena Museum will continue to provide dedicated space for the African Diaspora to create original work and cultivate creative expression!
CREATIVE AGENCY FOR HIRE
Alena Museum offers creative services to the community. Everything you need to tell your story, from flyers to full art installations.
COVID-19 ARTIST SERIES
Our first featured work is by Afrofuturist Artist Arnold “AR” Randall.
Protest & movement takes place in public space. By mobilizing Art Activism installations in the commons, we are holding African Diaspora cultural presence in public space. The way Alena shows up in public space is by pushing a Black Futurist platform & lens that addresses systematic racism. Our core values are Cultural Equity, Preservation, Ownership, and Afrofuturism.
WE ARE HERE
Alena Museum has been holding space in West Oakland since 2013. We are currently building out a new location near West Oakland BART as a Resilience Hub for Culture Keeping & Co-Creating.
