Bay of Rage: Anticut #1 Roving Street Party in Oakland, 6/3/11: photos

[Pictured above: Telegraph & Broadway gathering spot.]


Participants gathered at the intersection of Telegraph and Broadway, then marched up Telegraph Avenue two-lanes-wide with a mobile sound system toward the monthly First-Friday Art Murmur. The energy of those at Art Murmur, normally largely confined to 23rd Street between Telegraph and Broadway, was pulled outward to the street on Telegraph by the Bay of Rage crowd -- with music, dancing, and a hip hop performance by Eddie Falcon. From there, a larger-sized Anticut street party continued up Telegraph and turned on 25th Street, pausing again in front of a couple of the new higher-end art galleries that have sprung up in warehouses which formerly housed auto mechanic and other industrial businesses. The final destination of the roving street party was the parking lot at 25th and Broadway, where the dancing continued and several short films were screened. Along the way of it all, bystanders cheered on the march and participants handed out thousands of fliers declaring the critical need to reclaim public space in Oakland.
