Center for Elder’s Independence murals created by students of Eduardo Pineda's ENGAGE: Mural Arts class, Fall 2013
No full textIn fall of 2013 Eduardo Pineda's ENGAGE: Mural Arts class created murals for the Center for Elder’s Independence (CEI), a high quality, affordable integrated health care services program that promotes autonomy, quality of life and the ability of individuals to live in their communities. With guidance from CEI staff, students visited the Eastmont Town Center and the Josie Barrow Center to interview seniors over meals and hands-on activities and developed themes and imagery for the murals. The students designed and painted eight mural panels for the two facilities in which seniors attend day programs.
Themes of nature, water, flight, day, night, and twilight are evocative settings used in the the mural designs to spark imagination. The fullness of life experience, the journeys taken, and the unique paths individuals chose are also expressed in the class murals, with an emphasis on introspection, togetherness, and joyful reunion

601 City Center construction barrier murals created by students of Eduardo Pineda's ENGAGE: Mural Arts class, Spring 2013
No full textIn spring of 2013 Eduardo Pineda's 2013 ENGAGE: Mural Arts class continued work during the second year of a three year project which created murals for the barrier fence surrounding the 601 City Center construction site in downtown Oakkland (bounded by 11th and 12th Streets, Jefferson and Martin Luther King Jr. Streets) for Shorenstein Properties LLC. This was part of ENGAGE@CCA, a community-engagement program of CCA’s Center for Art and Public Life.
In this second year, at Jack London Gateway Senior Housing, a ten-minute walk from the site, to express what seniors contribute to and value about their community – diverse cultural perspectives, unity, and love. The murals also expressed ongoing concerns with safety and interconnection, the importance of nature, and the celebration of neighborhood culture. Eight murals were created and installed on the Martin Luther King Jr. Way and 11th Street sides of the site. The mural designs used anecdotes from the seniors as springboards to create playful images composed of resident characters, local architecture, landmarks, cityscapes, birds, and shared doodles. In addition to student collaborative design work, the students volunteered in activities at Jack London Gateway Senior Housing provided by East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation. CCA international students David Sun and David Yamato were recruited to assist with Mandarin/English translations during interactions with residents in the design process.
In total, three Mural Arts classes worked to develop a vibrant temporary visual environment in downtown Oakland during the period of the Great Recession of the late 2000s, when construction of the 601 City Center office tower was halted, and the site was left unbuilt. The murals were painted on panels and were rearranged once, when construction was restarted, in order to accommodate the changing configuration of the barrier fencing. The building was completed and opened in 2019, and the murals were destroyed

It is meant as a resource for both transgender students and cisgender students who may be spending time with gender variant peers for the first time. It was produced in Summer 2013 by a group of trans and gender variant students and alumni, and faculty advisors, with the support of CCA Student Affairs. This zine is not a traditional "Transgender 101." Rather, it centers personal experiences, writing, and artwork of trans, queer, and gender variant folks at CCA. We encourage you to read, discuss, synthesize, question, fill in the blanks.
