East Bay Yesterday: Bay Aerial - watching our region transform from above

Friday, February 13, 2026 | Doors 7pm | Presentation 8pm |

La Peña Cultural Center, 3105 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley, CA

Sliding scale rate: $10 - $25

What does looking at half a century of aerial photographs reveal about the Bay Area’s ongoing transformation? East Bay Yesterday host Liam O’Donoghue will explore this question by closely examining a mysterious archive of images he rescued from destruction. These photos show much more than changing landscapes – they illustrate the values, circuitry, and impact of our civilization, for better or worse.

Doors will open at 7 pm with time to peruse images. Presentation will begin at 8pm, with plenty of time for Q&A.

Sliding scale rate from $10-25 (no one turned away for lack of funds). Tickets purchased at the higher rate ensure accessibility for folks who need to purchase at the lower rate.
