Previously, as a community events organizer, his ambition was “to infuse more variability and play into the civic realm” and to create opportunities for real cultural exchange in negative urban spaces. The result was Oaklandish, a decade strong grassroots community arts organization with 20 consecutive “Best of the East Bay” Awards to it’s credit. He is also the founder of inner city playground activities such as the Urban Capture the Flag League, the Lake Merritt Radio Regatta, and the Liberation Drive-In which spurred an international movement of similarly subversive parking lot movie screenings.

Hull began his career in the realm of interactive public arts in 1979, when he was a child performer at Oakland’s Children’s Fairyland, a storybook theme park which was the unsung prototype to Disneyland. Nascent time spent in this wonderland setting inspired much of his life & work since. He also plays bass, makes an exquisite ceviche, and hosts wild parties neck-deep in kids & dogs.
