The first mural in Oakland honoring two-time gold medal Olympian Alisa Liu is now complete.<\/p>\n
The mural is located on the corner of Telegraph and 43rd Street in Temescal.<\/p>\n
The team from the mural group ILLUMINARIES is behind the work. The artists were inspired by the photo of Liu doing what\u2019s called the \u201cthizz\u201d face with her gold medal, associated with the Bay Area\u2019s Hyphy Movement and rapper Mac Dre.<\/p>\n
The mural also has \u201cShoutout Oakland\u201d on it for when Liu said those words after her gold medal winning program.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Warriors left, the A\u2019s left, but it\u2019s kind of like we have someone to look up to and somebody that our kids can aspire to be,\u201d Steve Ha with ILLUMINARIES said. \u201cAnd you know, follow your dreams and I think it\u2019s just dope man.\u201d<\/p>\n
The ILLUMINARIES are an Asian-led art group. the group paid for this mural out of their own pockets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first mural in Oakland honoring two-time gold medal Olympian Alisa Liu is now complete.
