Carabao Mural

The mural of a carabao on Russ Street honors the historical and cultural roots of the Filipino community in the neighborhood, transforming a formerly graffiti-marked wall into a public artwork. Created by Franceska Gamez and Cece Carpio of the Trust Your Struggle Collective, the work presents the carabao as a symbol of labor, care, and collective support, reflecting the artists’ commitment to representing community identity amid neighborhood change.
