Oakes Colleges’ theme of social justice and communication across diversity is depicted prominently in "La Promesa de Loma Prieta: Que no se repita la historia" (The Promise of Loma Prieta: That history not repeat itself) by Juana Alicia located in the Oakes College Mural Room. Alicia worked with Oakes College students in 1991-92 to paint the mural as a response to artwork in the stairwell of the same building which caused a controversy among students at the time for depicting the colonization of the New World. ____ #ucsc #ucsantacruz #oakestagram #oakescollege #artistsoninstagram #artsagram #mural #muralart
