High Resolution print of the SUMUD: RESISTANCE UNTIL LIBERATION MURAL
11 x 17 in
The SUMUD: RESISTANCE UNTIL LIBERATION MURAL at Uptown Auto Body in Oakland, California is a 5,000 sq ft community mural on 3 perpendicular walls of a publicly accessible parking lot. The mural involved dozens of Bay Area organizations, including Palestinian-led and Palestine solidarity groups, an Indigenous Ohlone land trust, prison abolitionist groups, and more. The content was designed and painted by local, international, and incarcerated artists, including hundreds of community members as well as legends like Black Panther Minister of Culture Emory Douglas and artists from Gaza and the West Bank. Ray painted an entire 9ft-tall spoon — 1 of 8 that collectively pay tribute to Palestinian prisoners who dug their way out of Israel's highest security prison using nothing but spoons. The spoon she painted envisions the freedom of prisoners from California to Palestine and represents the California Coalition for Women Prisoners and the Palestinian Feminist Collective.
