## Resource

Celebrated Bay Area artist Mildred Howard’s work has long been informed by the place she calls home, reflecting the intersection of her family’s history and the larger history of the Bay Area. You may have seen her massive “Frame” at Hunters Point Shipyard, her wall of saxophones at SFO or her sculpture, “Delivered, Mable’s Promissory Note,” outside the Ashby BART station, which commemorates her mother’s successful fight for the undergrounding of BART tracks in South Berkeley. Now, more of Howard’s pieces can be seen at the Oakland Museum of California, which is hosting her first major retrospective. We’ll speak with Howard, and with people who have studied her work, about what it means to make art that’s of and for the Bay Area. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
