ThursDates at OMCA brings the "Good Fire" exhibition to life with an evening of Indigenous music, art, and ancestral wisdom.

DJ WELIVEINPARADISE soundtracks the night with ambient electronics, and handcrafted beadwork from Ihoo Taloowa Beads rounds out a powerful celebration of Native California traditions.
