“East Side Voices”

Painted by Mario Dimas with the East San Jose Community for Veggielution

A small but mighty mural, coloring about 400sqft of Veggielution’s storage unit inside SoFA Pocket Park, we had the great pleasure of working with members from the Si Se Puede Collective, Mayfair, and East San Jose neighborhoods. Muralist Mario Dimas, created a thoughtful design that reflected both the community’s stories and aligned with Veggielution’s mission. Volunteers were invited to paint this mural together, painted with recycled paints from past projects (yay for recycling!) This project contributed just over $2,100 into the pockets of local artists.

 

A Mayfair community member shared her story remembering her children playing with the little chicks on the farm.

Our community roundtable conversation helped us collect and transform their stories into artwork!
