2012 was the year that Oakland gained wider recognition for its art and music scene - from the
New York Times to the
East Bay Express.
Oakland Local ran five-part series between Christmas 2012 and New Year's Day 2013. The series is a retrospective look at five Oakland/Bay Area artists in their 20s who've helped make our city's art scene what it is today. The series features excerpts of interviews appearing in
Oakland in Popular Memory.
Chinaka Hodge - Part 1
Ise Lyfe - Part 2
Rafael Casal - Part 3
Kool A.D. - Part 4
Dahlak Brathwaite - Part 5

Oakland in Popular Memory, and visit their websites linked to from the interviews.
