Akonadi Foundation and Civic Design Studio have partnered with OUSD schools, Skyline, and Oakland High, to launch Oakland is Home, a youth poster project showcasing posters by Oakland’s youth who are demanding change and reclaiming culture, place, history, and power. Youth were invited to design a poster communicating their understanding of the topics “Oakland is Home” or “We Belong” to bring public awareness to the issues of Home and Belonging; criminalization and systemic exclusion of youth, youth homelessness, and/or displacement impacting their community.
