This massive mural celebrates the arts community of Oakland and especially the
Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts, which can be seen in the background. The Center offers a diverse selection of arts and martial arts classes and is named after an honored Congolese dancer, drummer , and teacher who died in a
tragic car accident in 2003. I'm showing you only one section of the mural; the rest will be shown next week. The mural is a collaboration of many Oakland artists and was funded through foundations and city programs.
