Bid adieu to the world-famous Trash Falcons Trash Museum of Trash (TFTMoT). This visiting museum was graciously loaned to the Junior Center of Art and Science as part of our larger What We Sow gallery show in collaboration with the Trash Falcons.
One person’s trash isn’t just treasure—it’s a masterpiece. What We Sow invites viewers into a reimagined landscape composed of the forgotten remnants of Adams Point, Lakeside Park, and Lake Merritt. Through a lens of radical optimism, the Trash Falcons transform the discarded debris of urban life into works that are at once whimsical, provocative, and profoundly beautiful. By elevating found objects to the realm of fine art, this exhibition challenges us to confront our own hand in the ecological narrative and asks: What do we leave behind, and what beauty can we grow from the wreckage?
This is your last chance to see the TFTMoT at the Junior Center. TFTMoT presents a curated selection of “questionably historic” artifacts recovered during weekly missions. These objects—perhaps a pair of misplaced AirPods or a haunting orthodontic mold—are preserved behind glass as relics of a hidden Oakland history.
Ascend the Throne of Pickers Past, an interactive installation celebrating the labor of the community picker, perfect for your #trashfalcons selfie.
Shop the TFTMoT Gift shop to carry a piece of this reimagined history home.
Snacks and refreshments provided.
Friday, March 6th 6:00-8:00pm
