As Oakland, California, undergoes massive changes , an art museum is calling on residents to speak out about being pushed from the city they call home.

Oakland, I want you to know opened at the Oakland Museum of California last month and celebrates the history and culture of West Oakland, a neighborhood where rents are rising, tech workers are moving in, and longtime residents, particularly African-Americans, are being displaced.

The interactive installation a replica of West Oaklands streets, shrunk to fit in a room is as much about community organizing as it is about art.

Chris Treggiari, a local social practice artist who curated the show with Evelyn Orantes, OMCAs curator of public practice, said he wanted to create a platform that can house what the community is saying, what the community is thinking.

Gentrification is happening; theres a shift in demographics; theres displacement, he said. These are words that were hearing from the community.

Orantes and Treggiari hope to encourage visitors to tell their own stories about living in West Oakland. The exhibition draws from interviews with residents and contributions from over 700 artists, students, residents and community groups.
