HEALING SONG MURAL BY CRP FEATURING PESKADOR, MIKE360, RELEASE,DESI WOMB

Double headed water dragon by Peskador

Last Friday, the Community Rejuvenation Project completed its second large-scale mural of the year at the corner of 30th and West. The project was located in the heart of the “Ghost Town” neighborhood of West Oakland, so called because of its high murder rate. Despite that, and correspondingly high levels of crime, unemployment, drug and alcohol abuse, prostitution, and blight, the neighborhood i...s not without hope, its residents not without community spirit.

Recognizing this struggle, and the need for upliftment, CRP lead artists Mike Threesixty and Desi WOME called the mural “Healing Song.” Many members of the CRP collective participated, among them Pancho Pescador, and CRP Artist in Residency, Release PYC.

In a neighborhood whose nickname represents the casual, almost dismissive attitude toward death, CRP’s “Healing Song” mural aims to make a difference in the way residents and passers-by think about their environment.

LIMACHE, CHILE- COLABORACION DAG,BOOS & PESKADOR

Deambulando por las calles de Limache me encontre con dos jovenes artistas DAG & BOOS(14 y 16 annos) preparandose para hacer un mural legal en el muro de una casa, al contarles que yo tambien pintaba me invitaron a participar, ellos estaban trabajando en sus letras por lo que sugeri hacer un personaje mas realista solo en negro para constrastar un poco, asi eleji al director y pionero de cine Holandes Joris Ivens que hizo una de los primeros documentales sobre Valparaiso. Este el el resultado de la cooperacion! http://www.biografiasyvidas.com/biografia/i/ivens.htm

MACHI DE LA NACION MAPUCHE

MACHI

Pintura negra sobre madera

En mi visita a Pucon algunas semanas atras tuve el placer de conocer a Roxana y familia en la comunidad Mapuche de Quelhue...asi es que para apoyar su cocineria de comida tipica me ofreci pintarle esta machi y el weichafe de al lado....hicimos Trueke como en los viejos tiempo, arte por comida (mate, empanadas, asado de cordero al palo con papas, mote con huesillos...) quedamos los dos felices y se entablo la relacion mas preciada: la amistad!
