I agree with many comments already posted about how great it is to be adding a mural AND the opportunity for this mural to more representative of our students and campus. I don't see the LGBTQ+ or differently abled communities reflected nor do I understand what some of the elements are meant to represent (i.e., the green person reading by the tree roots on the bottom right panel). Maybe I'm uninformed of the symbolism, but there's opportunity for the images included to be more diversely & specifically representative of the many intersectional identities of our student body and campus community AND to the pursuit of higher education/graduation as indicated in the mural purpose statement. Those are my general comments. And now two specific concerns:
1. The image of the group of graduates in the lower left panel: the (female?) student in the front of the group depicted looks like their commencement gown has been opened to expose two green breasts. I don't know if the two green ovals are supposed to be a tree or lungs, but I can't unsee it as anything other than a student with breasts exposed.  Am I the only one?
2. It's very concerning that the image of the person raising the conch in the upper left panel is in the likeness of the person currently associated with/ compensated for offering Chumash blessings on campus. Whereas the rest of the painted images are nondescript/ unidentifiable, (excluding the profile of the Folkloric dancer which looks photoshopped in, it's so crisply different than the others), this one being so obviously in their likeness feels like the mural is honoring the person rather than the Chumash culture they represent and the indigenous peoples' land the institution occupies. And that feels...inappropriate? performative? underhanded? Icky. Is there a reason we don't see a nondescript Chumash Elder represented along with the other nondescript cultural representatives in this mural?

Hello all. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and knowledge. It’s essentially the legacy you’ll pass on to future generations of CSUCI students. I’ll  incorporate more elements and themes. I’m seeing a lot of suggestions around academics. Are there any cultural programs around music, dance, or instruments that can also be represented? I want to honor the space as an area of recreation and the outdoors. Thank you! Myisha 🎨

I think it would be neat to add some references to the history of the campus, namely its past as a mental hospital. Such additions would not only look cool, they would also demonstrate how far we've come. Camarillo State Hospital is an important aspect of our history and a fairly frequent topic of discussion among students; it would make a lot of sense and display another one of the myriad facets and backgrounds upon which our school is built.

I honestly do not see diversity in these murals. I only see one culture represented.

I really appreciate the inclusion and representation of so many prominent advocacy figures at CI. I also like the subtle inclusion of so many majors.

My only thought would be to include a dolphin somewhere in the mural, considering it is our mascot.

Great work!

I have concerns about the rainbow. Is it supposed to represent the Rainbow Bridge story? If so, there are some false narratives around it. The Rainbow Bridge story of the beginnings of the Chumash was created by a European, not the Chumash. Also, the Chumash rainbow colors are red, blue, and white.

I love it so far, I do agree however on some other comments I see such as having representation for students with disabilities, dolphins (school mascot), and maybe try to find a way to represent other majors

What if the dancer's hand was touching a dolphin's nose?

how about adding a pod of dolphins swimming past the Channel Islands our mascot and beautiful surrounding area

I love everything! I would just love to see people who have disabilities represented. It doesn't have to be all kinds but just 1 to represent us (:
( ex. a student using a wheelchair, a cane, or even add it as an "easter egg" where it's not completely huge but is there when the mural is being admired) Thank you & I hope it's considered😀

I appreciate the idea of adding some color to campus. I think this should be done in a way that can inspire others. Without presenting a bias or taking away from the architecture of campus. CSUCI is a diverse campus, so I think that by making the mural encompass more of its diversities would be more effective. I would like to see this done by including the representation of more majors and by adding to the diversity of the depicted individuals.
I also think that the portion with the dancer and person reading under a tree should be replaced with something that better honors the focuses of the mural project. Perhaps more depictions related to the pursuit of higher education?

# data[].attributes.body
I like the intention but it seems really incongruent. What does a folkloric dancer have to do with CSUCI? It should cover popular majors the students choose as well as the type of students on campus i.e. latinX, LGBTQ+, students with disabilities need representation. I don't see them incorporating images of the assistance programs they offer since they are looking potential budgets cuts. Those will be the first to go before admin skips a pay raise.

Looks great but can we add something, even a small something that pays tribute to Carmen Ramirez since she was a strong advocate for CSUCI from its beginning, and especially an important ally for Chican@x Studies.

Can there be some representation for DREAMERS? Like a monarch butterfly? That would be amazing.

Can we have an image that more clearly communicates trans liberation and solidarity?

Like a protest, or likenesses of trans POC, or a picture of the intersectional feminist symbol (attached)?

I love that this is finally happening. I'm excited to see how amazing it will look. I was wondering, perhaps the mural could have a portion with something related to immigration. Perhaps, add the Monarch butterfly to represent undocumented student s. A portion that reflects hope and resilience.

The moral suggest that STEM majors are important or CI only has Stem Majors.
Maybe add a whiteboard for teaching majors, paint brush for art, history can be a hour glass and books for English.

Could ASI be added somehow as a collaborator hosting the mural? Maybe ASI on a stole?

It looks so pretty! Student union is pretty on the inside already. This ll just make it so much better on the outside! ❤️❤️❤️

Hello! If you haven’t incorporated it in yet, could there be more representation for as many majors as you can possibly paint? For example, in the books that the students are reading could be the main subjects/topics of the majors (biology, psychology, Chicano studies books). Otherwise I believe this is an amazing mural and I’m so excited to see it completed!! Thank you for all your hard work!

Finally! we are getting some color on campus!
