LOVE LETTER TO OAKLAND work in progress Love Letter to Oakland is a mural series started by Oakland artist David Burke and his team of artists. Their goal is to shine a light on the people in Oakland that have been shaping the cultural landscape in the city for decades while illustrating their critical connection to the younger generation growing up in the Bay. The murals depict the act of older generations "passing the torch" to the younger generations that they inspire and influence. I was asked to join the project to capture each of the subjects in the studio for the mural team to use as the center pieces for each of the designs. I've also been doing a documentary film on the process and collecting the voices of the subjects. Visit the project website to see more and follow the progress as there are several more murals to come!
