Dorian ReidCalling All Cats!
Museum of the African Diaspora
Sep 30 – Dec 6, 2026 SoMa
Ceramics, paintings, textiles and protest signs centered on the Berkeley artist’s black-cat club.
Reid is a MoAD Emerging Artist. She shows the black cat as a symbol of dignity and humor instead of bad luck, and the show tells the story of the Black Cat Revolution, a club she started in 2024 that raises money for cats and for people in her community.
Reid grew up in Berkeley. She is the daughter of the historian Betty Reid Soskin, and her family ran Reid’s Records. Her family and its links to the Black Panthers come up throughout the work.
