Culture is defined most broadly as a way of life for a society.

In cities like Oakland with a robust mix of heritages, the culture

becomes a shared experience. The collective contributions from

such a diverse population combine to create new and interesting

remixes displayed through many different forms including art,

literature, music, food, fashion, customs and values. Oakland is

an incredible mixtape for the senses.

This mural reflects that visual mixtape and honors the vibe

unique to Oakland, CA. Showcasing a blend of cultures local to

“The Town”, the viewer is immersed in the community within the

district of Koreatown Northgate (KONO) and the city as a whole.

The artwork was designed and brought to life by three incredibly

talented local artists whose styles and techniques have been

honed through this very community.
