Shifting Margins – October Exhibition at the Poppy

September 27 – November 10

Curatorial Discussion: November 7 @ 6:00 pm

Shifting Margins is a two-part exhibition curated by Bay Area curatorial organization OFF- Space running concurrently at The Red Poppy Art House and Aggregate Space in West Oakland. This two-part group exhibition brings together a variety of works that inspire deliberation, consideration and argument in order to grapple with the location, meaning and use of the edge, outsider-ness, privilege and what it means to be “on the margin” whether by choice or by force of circumstance. Shifting Margins will embrace the center, the periphery and the bridge between those concepts through the use of two locations “The City” (San Francisco) the perceived cultural and social center and its “marginal” sister city (Oakland) noted center of racial and social upheaval.
