" El anarquismo es la única filosofía que aporta al hombre la conciencia de sí mismo, que sostiene que Dios, el Estado y la sociedad son inexistentes, que sus promesas son nulas y sin valor, ya que sólo pueden cumplirse a través de la subordinación del hombre. "

Emma Goldman

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

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!

HIJO DEL PUEBLO

Hijos del pueblo

Hijo del pueblo, te oprimen cadenas,

y esa injusticia no puede seguir;

si tu existencia es un mundo de penas

antes que esclavo prefiere morir.

En la batalla, la hiena fascista.

por nuestro esfuerzo sucumbirá;

y el pueblo entero, con los anarquistas,

hará que triunfe la libertad.

Trabajador, no más sufrir,

el opresor ha de sucumbir.

Levántate, pueblo leal,

al grito de revolución social.

Fuerte unidad de fe y de acción

producirá la revolución.

Nuestro pendón uno ha de ser:

sólo en la unión está el vencer.

Hijos del pueblo es una canción popular relacionada con el movimiento obrero, especialmente el de inspiración anarcosindicalista. Parece ser que este himno es obra de un director de banda militar establecido en Barcelona. Se presentó en 1885 a la Sección de Música revolucionaria del primer certamen socialista organizado por el Centro de Amigos de Reus, perteneciente a la Primera Internacional.

I had the pleasure of working with 67 SUEñOS PROJECT, designing and painting the vision of this migrant youth program led by Pablo Paredes. The youth of the program were amazing future leaders and their commitment got me fired up. This is the product of that collaboration, their stories, our collective vision. We also proudly featured 2 Community Rejuvenation Project CRP Desi Wome & Beats 737 on the writing on left & right. We painted it in record time (3 weeks) and many people helped us accomplish this project: one community painting day where more than 50 people showed up and helped us paint the back grounds and later a few people showed up almost everyday to paint and help us! We also cleaned the lot, led by our brother Sean who collected more than a hundred used syringes (meth use) and bags and bags of plastic and garbage

REJUVENATION: NEW WORKS BY THE ARTIST AN PHOTOGRAPHERS OF THE COMMUNITY REJUVENATION PROJECT

The Oakland-based chapter of the Community Rejuvenation Project, also known as CRPBayArea, is proud to announce “Rejuvenation,” a new exhibition of paintings and photographs by CRP artists. As CRP founder Desi W.O.M.E. explains, “Rejuvenation is one of CRP’s core themes.” In naming this exhibit, he says, “we wanted to emphasize that aspect of what we do, which is more than just write our names on walls. The creation of art is both a sacred and spiritual practice in indigenous, native traditions, and our work is really about acknowledging that part of it and bringing it to inner-city environments which are in need of positive affirmations. We want to promote health, environmental awareness, and life, as well as a connection with our ancestors. Essentially, we are talking about rejuvenation of our communities and of ourselves through art. This is urban renewal at a grassroots level.”
The works represented in “Rejuvenation” show the tremendous range, diversity, and artistic ability of the CRP collective, consisting of talented muralists, calligraphers, painters, character artists, stencil artists, and photographers. Featured artists include Mike 360, Desi W.O.M.E., Dora Chavarria, Pescador, Daniel D. Zarazua, Daz, Elijah Pfotenhauer, Eric K. Arnold, Miss Ammo, Beats 737, Dave Young Kim, and collaborative works with aerosol legends P.H.A.S.E. 2 and Vulcan.
Many of the photographs document the creation process of CRP’s community murals, including the recent “Peace and Dignity” wall at 41st and International, in the heart of the Fruitvale District – a historically-Hispanic and Latino community plagued by gang violence and economic woes which is undergoing an identity crisis spurred by the onset of gentrification. Other works include “Oblivion,” a stunning portrait by Dave Young Kim in oil, acrylic and aerosol; “FlyGirlFest III,” an inked illustration of b-girls by Miss Ammo; and “Self City,” a study in perspective and cubism rendered by Elijah Photenhauer.
The exhibit will run through August 31st at Oakland’s freshest local hangout, the Layover, and its adjacent gallery, DepARTure. The First Friday opening reception is August 5th from 6-9pm and features live painting by CRP artists. Following the reception, be sure to stick around for an after-party featuring True Skool DJ Ren the Vinyl Archaeologist, spinning a set of classic hip-hop and breaks from 9pm-until the wee hours. Media sponsors include OaklandLocal, Fusicology, and True Skool.
