Ventanas murals, at the Fruitvale Masonic Temple, created by students of Eduardo Pineda's ENGAGE:Mural Arts class, spring 2015
No full textIn spring of 2015 Eduardo Pineda's ENGAGE: Mural Arts class, in partnership with The Mexican Museum (TMM) and The Unity Council, created murals for the historic Masonic Temple on San Pablo Ave and Ignacio de la Fuente Ave in the Fruitvale district of Oakland, California.
To create the murals, students examined objects representing 4000 years of art history and culture with TMM’s director and educators, and used the historical styles and themes to highlight aspirations and concerns of the Fruitvale community as shared by The Unity Council staff. The resulting seven mural panels express themes of community resilience, cultural diversity, and affirmation of traditional culture and youthful energy. The Museum and The Unity Council jointly approved the final designs.
By adorning the Masonic Temple, The Unity Council activated this landmark, envisioning a cultural center for the neighborhood; TMM outreached to the East Bay in anticipation of their new building in downtown San Francisco, and CCA placed students at the center of an historic community arts project. The partnership between two leading Bay Area art and educational institutions and the Fruitvale’s pioneering community development corporation reinforces the cultural richness of Oakland and the significance of Latino culture in the Bay Area

Esparto, CA murals created by students of Eduardo Pineda's ENGAGE:Mural Arts class, Fall 2015
No full textIn fall of 2015 Eduardo Pineda's ENGAGE: Mural Arts class created seven murals for the intersection of Highway 16 and Woodland Ave in Esparto, CA., in a collaboration between: the town of Esparto, Capay Valley organizations, and the class, as part of a larger effort to rejuvenate Esparto by harnessing student creativity.
The mural panels were painted on California College of the Arts’ Oakland campus, in consultation with Esparto community and tribal members. The class exchanged ideas with members of New Season Community Development Corp. and Yoche Dehe Wintun Academy to design the seven murals.
In the mural panels, students addressed themes of the land and histories of Esparto and the Capay Valley, indigenous presence, and rebirth and growth cycles. Plants, seeds, animals, insects, and people engaged in traditional activities as well as working the land reflect the vitality of life in the region. Valley produce represents the rebirth of the region through the organic farming industry that supplies the greater Bay Area fresh food markets. Students write “leokas” which means “good” in the Patwin language and reference Patwin creation stories and traditional basketry to honor the historical inhabitants of the valley and the current role of Patwins in the revitalization of Esparto and Capay Valley. Students also highlighted the Latino contribution to the agricultural industry, and prominent figures of 19th century Guinda – African American residents Green Berry Logan, Basil Campbell and Mary Francis Gaither – to reflect the significant multicultural history of the valley. Together the seven murals represent the vibrant community of Esparto and Capay Valley
