Throwback- Mural at La Peña (Berkeley, Ca)
Besides working in Kidlit and illustration I also worked in public art and murals for many years and I bring skills, ethic, and politics from that with me wherever I go. For this, we were brought in to paint a mural called “El Relevo” to symbolize the handing of the baton from the older Chilean founders of this cultural hub and organizing outpost to the next generation. The hand off was not so smooth in reality, but I remember loving working on this. I had just moved back to Oakland after living in Brooklyn for a few years. This video was shot by Miguel Bounce Perez.
