Arrow-Soul Council Starts End of the Year Mural

The Arrow-Soul Council after-school workshop at Oakland Unity High School began closing out the school year with a community mural at 60th and MacArthur. The theme "Oakland State of Mind" is a tribute to youth culture and will feature the phrase in highly stylized letters painted by the students juxtaposed between images of youth on scraper bikes, turf dancing, emceeing, and spray-painting. It was inspired in part by a song by Youth Roots featured below. We hope to bring Youth Roots and the Scraper Bike team to the wall to remix the music video that was made last year.
