The Kapor Center

Bay Area social and environmental justice organizations and community members came together to celebrate the unveiling of the "It's Time" Kapor Center mural by Favianna Rodriguez in uptown Oakland (2148 Broadway), and to join forces for a better planet and a healthier community.

We host a monthly lunchtime speaker series here at the Kapor Center. December's luncheon featured Rodolfo Mendoza Denton, who is an associate professor of Psychology at UC Berkeley and studies stigma and its implications for education. He spoke to the Kapor Center about the ways feelings of inclusion and belonging affect academic performance and the decisions that minority students make about their professional trajectories.

Our very sane event planners at the Kapor Center 543 long ago figured out that the right time for an office holiday party is, in fact, well after the holidays, in January. During the chaos of December, as everyone is putting the wrapping up their travel plans, decorations and gift shopping, it's a blessing not to have to add another event to the calendar, and certainly must make the event planning easier.

Nevis is a free-to-use typeface designed by Ten By Twenty, aka Ed Merritt, that works wonderfully as a clean display font. It's also the typeface we've chosen to represent The Kapor Center as we being to approach the new era of our family of organizations.

There are so many activities going on within the San Francisco Kapor Center, that it's often hard for our guests and visitors to really get a full view of all that we do here. To this end, we created this quick 60sec motion graphics sequence to explain our work and our family of organizations. The goal was to create something that functions similar to the videos screened in movie theaters just before the feature presentation... "Shh, no talking... Please, quiet your mobile phones".
