San Jose Walls AIR

“The world was covered with water, one day a feather was floating on the water and it was transformed into eagle, eagle was chief, later he would join coyote and a powerful companion of hummingbird. This is why Mount Umunum is important to our people it is along with the other mountaintops that became the first areas of dry land before people came into this world.” -Charlene Nijmeh, ChairWoman, Muwekma Ohlone of SF Bay Area SJ Walls presents “This Is The Way” a final short documentary highlighting the Artist in Residence program. In 2020, @guadaluperiverparkconservancy and @sanjosewalls joined forces with a shared vision to use the Guadalupe River Park and Trail to enhance the existing public art and create the Bay Area’s longest public art corridor. The joint benefits of public art and open spaces function as a catalyst to foster community resiliency, attract park users, spark inspiration, and promote social healing.
