The Few and Far Mural (aka, "Ode to Oakland") was a wall on Mandela Parkway created by 17 women who are part of Few and Far Women, women who participate in artistic endeavors that are traditionally male dominated like street art/graffiti, skate culture, DJing, etc.
On June 12-14 2015, Few and Far reunited to repaint this wall at 2569 Mandela Parkway.
Artists include: Sheva, Beth Emmerich,
