This mural represents the support and love that is at the heart of all communities and that the Family Education Resource Center helps people reestablish in order to restore balance and good mental health in all individuals. Hands and gestures reflect the comfort and assistance we all need at moments of distress. People of all ages need help and can help.
Painted on canvas by Eduardo Pineda and Joaquin Alejandro Newman, the mural was installed at the FERC facility in the Eastmont Town Center in East Oakland in December 2009. The mural spans a hallway between waiting areas, meeting rooms, resource library, and classrooms. In the photographs, you see the completed mural on the floor before installation, the mural installed in FERC, the mural while we are painting it in Joaquin's Alameda studio, and a detail of the mural.
