I am on a retreat this weekend, so we are going on the air 2 hours early, 6-8 a.m. with a rebroadcast from a special 031009 air date: We will speak to Kiilu Nyasha, former Black Panther Party member, activist, TV show host and artist. She is featured in an exhibit this Saturday, March 14, at the West Oakland Branch Library, 1801 Adeline Street, 1-3 p.m., in Oakland, along with two other artists: Tarika Matilaba Lewis and Gail Asali Dickson. Charlotte O'Neal's work is part of another exhibit at the Oakland Main Library Branch. The reception will feature all four women who will also talk about their work.

Liza Rankow, OneLife Institute which is presenting “Transformative Visions,” a multimedia art show and spoken word/jazz concert with a message of peace and possibility, from 2:00 - 5:00 PM on Saturday, March 14, 2009, at Studio One, 365 - 45th St., in Oakland. Artists, Lorraine Bonner, TheArthur Wright and Destiny Muhammad, "Harpist from the Hood," are a part of this program which is free and open to the public. Scheduled to coincide with the annual observance of A Season for Nonviolence and the anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, “Transformative Visions” is intended to both challenge and inspire by offering spiritually-rooted responses to the critical concerns of the present day.
