Spirit of Fallen Artist Rises in Oakland Mural Project
|
| In a dark passage beneath an Interstate 580 overpass, a group of artists came together in the Fall of 2015 to realize the design of West Oakland Middle School students, who envisioned themselves as super heroes combating problems in their community. When Antonio Ramos, and artist dedicated to social justice, was killed while working on the project, the 4,000 square foot mural about peace and non-violence (the third in a series of six planned for Oakland by ArtEsteem) was dedicated to the young, self-taught artist. Take a look at the art and resilience of the artists and community who help carry the spirit of Ramos forward. |
