Here is the entrance to the Eastside Cultural Center in the San Antonio district of East Oakland. The mosaic mural is wonderfully composed with a tiger, maize, and saxophone, symbolizing the major groups that live in the neighborhood. Holla Back refers to the intercom visitors use to gain entry to the building. The message is further emphasized by the microphone next to the intercom. Other murals sponsored by the organization have been
previously posted.

I had readjust my eyes to see all the things you ponited out- a subtle mosaic and a great way to combine local groups' symbols on such a small space of wall.
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed with the skill need to make a mural. A tile mural has extra steps compared to painting one. To me both are challenge.
