"ROOTS RUN DEEP"
by Meggs
Melbourne-born David Hooke, aka Meggs, is a founding member of the renowned @EverfreshStudio . Universally respected for work that "combines elements of nature, industry, and abstraction to create imagery that evokes a sense of flowing movement and change" Meggs uses art to speak out on issues of sustainability, consumerism, and the connectivity and harmony between beauty and decay. In 2015, at 3rd St and MLK Jr Way, Meggs honored the inspiring past, present and future of Oakland. A few blocks from Jack London Square "Roots Run Deep" also celebrates the transformation of a commercial district now welcoming new opportunities and a blossoming creative culture.  @houseofmeggs/

Wallflower Arts Oakland
Wallflower Arts (Instagram @wfastudio) #Oakland is Meg Schwarzman who creates public mural art across the SF Bay Area and now elsewhere in the US, usually integrating representation of native wildflowers. Meg is accepting commissions! Her maternal grandmother was a botanist, and Meg says Wallflower “germinated as a pandemic art project on my garage doors -- a burst of life and color in a public space at a moment when so many of us were confined to private spaces, and when neighborhood walks were the only escape. As a physician working through that scary time, painting was a balm, and creating public art connected me to everyone who passed by. Art transforms public spaces, and maybe for a moment it also changes the people who see it.”

Alleyeship: as in ‘all eyes’ focused on what matters most in the fight for Black American’s liberation from the slave ship past and present atrocities. To live well without the threats and mass injustices sewed and woven into the wealth of this country. To preserve black culture with respect; promote and support stories and work as told through their perspective experiences. To fight alongside them for long overdue reparations and justice for their loved ones by the system which they are & have been generationally stifled, exploited and terrorized by. Alleyeship is deep listening, learning, supporting , showing and speaking up in many forms. Acting outside the donation box to be there for friends and community members impacted disproportionately. To be with them in pain, joy and solidarity without judgement. #powertothepeople #blackhistorymonth #endracism #riseuptogether #supportoneanother #oaklandmurals #oaklandart #oaklandartist #oaklandartists #streetdance #streetartist #downtownoakland #muralstreetart (at Downtown Oakland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL22sxhBKpc/?igshid=1vpvfqbte3eb0

"KNOW YOUR ANCESTORS"
by Mike Tyau and Jesus Rodriquez
Born in Honolulu, Mike Tyau, aka Bam, has been connected with graffiti for more than 35 years. Since studying graphic design in San Francisco he has worked with some of the top video game and digital advertising companies. In May, 2018, Tyau collaborated with Jesus Rodriquez, aka Ease_Us, for BAMFest ( @BayAreaMuralFestival ) creating this eye catching mural on MLK Jr Way near Jack London Square in Oakland. Tyau says that "Besides the Olmec and Chinese motifs as ancestral guardian totems, we painted these to remind people to go to their pillars of support during these trying times. The leaves of the plants show how Mother Earth ties my background in Hawaii/Polynesia with Jesus’s background in Mexico/Central America, breaking down race, religion, color, we are all the same family."  @miketyau  @ease_us

Uplift the youth because their curious, malleable minds are the future! A holistic, contextual education of creative, critical thought is key to spiritual wealth and economic liberation and hence a more humane & equitable society. Art can help youth navigate, develop and express their voices and intellectual-emotional experiences with courage, while contextualizing cultural exploitation, generational oppression and inhumane practices. Rather than trying to convince adults away from their programed prejudices, short tempers and confirmation biases (cuz many get enraged at #kaepernick kneeling to make a point of blatant racist/institutionalized killings🤦🏽‍♂️) Staying committed to the youth encouraging cultivation of kindness, compassion, equity and respect for self and one other, particularly #ADOS black people. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that” #reclaimmlk #martinlutherkingjrday #protectblackwomen #breonnataylor #sandrabland #protectblackyouth #protectblackmen #streetart #oaklandmurals #educationmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/CKNKE4DBxWO/?igshid=1g2menx7zzv0q
