Qilombo (formerly The Holdout) was a community space in West Oakland, California, United States of America from 2011 through 2019. It was originally opened as an anarchist self-managed social center then changed its name and became a space for local Black and Brown people from 2014 onwards. The centre initiated the Afrika Town project and created the Afrika Town garden on an empty lot adjacent to the Qilombo building. Qilombo fought its eviction and was finally closed in 2019 by Alameda County officials.
