MURAL NAME: Our Future is in the Hands of Mother Earth
MURAL DATE: 2024
Xochitl was raised in Oakland and is an artist of fine arts, crafts, and murals. One of her earliest murals was a collaboration with her father, Raymundo “Zala” Nevel, in Oakland’s Fruitvale District. Zala ran the Galeria Teocalli in the early 1970's in the Laurel District. Xochitl founded her art business, Taller Xochicura, in 2013.
This work honors Mother Earth and emphasizes the need to focus on what's important in life: preservation of the Earth, the natural elements, and the future of our children and all humanity.
