In-Person Conversation with Aja Cooper and Liam O’Donoghue

7 - 8:30 PM
THIS EVENT HAS SOLD OUT!
Raymond Cooper lived and photographed in Oakland in the 1970s and 80s, but his archive of thousands of images was damaged by fire and then lost in a burglary. Some images were later found on the street and returned to the Cooper family. This exhibit shows over 100 of his recovered works, exploring in wonderful and colorful detail the fashion, hair styles, and street scene of the era as well as Cooper’s own experimental photographic work and family history.
Join us for a conversation with Raymond Cooper’s daughter Aja Cooper, and learn about her mission to preserve her father’s creative and cultural legacy. She’ll be talking to Bay Area writer and historian Liam O’Donoghue in his podcast East Bay Yesterday, followed by an article in SF Gate in October 2022
