Intersection E14th @ International

In Oakland California E14th and International streets are the same street. I think the shared name is representitive of the community transitions that take place in many urban areas. In Oakland California the street is equally populated by African Americans and Latinos. The collision/blend of two peoples create a rich cultural stew with lumps in it. May the lumps be dissolved.

Great Image! Is she silenced? Jo Dawkins

Artist Reply: She is not silenced but emerging. The color red represents the native people of the area that courses through the blood of the people that are immigrating to it.
