Street Mural Dedication Ceremony & Live Music | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Please join the intersection of 64th and Marshall Street where everyone will begin with a dedication ceremony led by a member of the Ohlone Nation – the first people of this land. Afterwards enjoy music, performances and story-telling inside.

This ceremony and celebration is brought to you by Economic Development Without Displacement Coalition’s (EDWDC) Art and Culture working group, PLACE, and North Oakland Restorative Justice Council.

A neighborhood based mural project: “Declaring Peace Through All Our Relations” was approved last May, 2015 by the city of Oakland, and was painted by community for community. They are excited to share this day with you to honor Art & Culture in the commons everyone shares.

Through the lens of the arts and deep culture, celebrate community at the mural site while delving thoughtfully into issues of Indigenous rights, Restorative Justice and Anti-Gentrification.
