This year, the festival\u2019s 25th anniversary, festivities will be held online and at home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as this year\u2019s poster artist, Rodriguez went beyond creating a colorful illustration for a flyer. As the festival\u2019s website notes, \u201c2020 has been a year of sickness, fear, suffering and despotism,\u201d and Rodriguez did not ignore this reality in her creations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2539_web.jpg?resize=445%2C297&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46184\" width=\"445\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2539_web.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2539_web.jpg?resize=360%2C240&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2539_web.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2539_web.jpg?resize=370%2C247&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2539_web.jpg?resize=800%2C533&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2539_web.jpg?resize=20%2C13&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2539_web.jpg?resize=185%2C123&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2539_web.jpg?resize=740%2C493&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2539_web.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2539_web.jpg?resize=72%2C48&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 72w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2539_web.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px\" \/><figcaption>World-renowned Fruitvale artist Favianna Rodriguez is featured in one of the episodes of \u201cReal Fruitvale,\u201d and uses her art to promote social change and activism. Courtesy: Real Fruitvale <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Fruitvale, home to the largest Latinx community in Oakland and many frontline essential workers, is one of three zip codes with the highest rates of COVID-19 positive tests in Alameda County. Before this year, too, Fruitvale was \u201cknown for tragedy,\u201d Rodriguez said. Oscar Grant was killed by BART police at Fruitvale station in 2009, and in 2016 the Ghost Ship warehouse fire took 36 lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rodriguez hopes to help change the narrative. She co-produced a mini-documentary series titled The Real Fruitvale, showcasing her community\u2019s cultural vibrancy and promoting the virtual festival.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Unity Council, a local non-profit Rodriguez referred to as \u201can anchor in the community,\u201d hosts the yearly festival, and partnered with Rodriguez to produce the films. The Unity Council\u2019s press release last month announced that the documentary follows the story of five pillars in the Fruitvale: \u201cartists, culture makers, and social change agents who are thriving despite incredible odds and who are transforming their community.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four of the mini-documentaries, including one about Rodriguez and her artwork, were released in October. Rodriguez is a visual artist who makes everything from prints to murals, and she\u2019s now trying out film production. The fifth mini-documentary, about community health organization La Clinica de la Raza and COVID-19\u2019s devastating impact in the Fruitvale, Rodriguez said will launch Nov. 9.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s festival being online will further impact the locals and their relied-upon income, and Rodriguez hopes the documentaries can bring attention to the neighborhood and showcase local spirit nonetheless. At the festival\u2019s website, attendees could place bids in an auction, learn how to paint their faces through tutorial videos, and support local vendors in the \u2018Muertos Mercadito,\u2019 open through Nov. 15.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the event\u2019s official poster, Rodriguez illustrated a traditional colorful altar with candles and skulls and fruit, but included a photo frame labeled \u201cCOVID-19,\u201d and a streamer with the names of people killed at the hands of police: Elijah, Breonna, George, Sean, and more. She also designed papel picado cutouts for printing and coloring from home, one of which reads \u201cBlack Lives Matter.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A5272_web.jpg?resize=443%2C295&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46190\" width=\"443\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A5272_web.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A5272_web.jpg?resize=360%2C240&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A5272_web.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A5272_web.jpg?resize=370%2C247&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A5272_web.jpg?resize=800%2C533&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A5272_web.jpg?resize=20%2C13&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A5272_web.jpg?resize=185%2C123&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A5272_web.jpg?resize=740%2C493&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A5272_web.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A5272_web.jpg?resize=72%2C48&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 72w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A5272_web.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px\" \/><figcaption>Image from the new mini-docu series, \u201cReal Fruitvale,\u201d which showcases the resilience and ingenuity of artists and changemakers from the Fruitvale neighborhood in Oakland, California.

According to census data, Oakland is 23.6 percent Black and 26.9 percent Latinx.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going further, Rodriguez said Latinx people must support Black liberation, suggesting the two groups\u2019 liberations are intertwined. She noted how the Fruitvale was once home to a powerful Chicano movement\u2014in the 1970s, the Black Panthers worked together with Chicano activists to lift up their oppressed communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2204_web.jpg?resize=454%2C363&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46195\" width=\"454\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2204_web.jpg?resize=600%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2204_web.jpg?resize=313%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 313w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2204_web.jpg?resize=768%2C614&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2204_web.jpg?resize=370%2C296&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2204_web.jpg?resize=800%2C640&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2204_web.jpg?resize=20%2C16&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2204_web.jpg?resize=185%2C148&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2204_web.jpg?resize=740%2C592&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2204_web.jpg?resize=400%2C320&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2204_web.jpg?resize=60%2C48&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 60w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DiadeOakland_HD3A2204_web.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" \/><figcaption>World-renowned Fruitvale artist Favianna Rodriguez is featured in one of the episodes of \u201cReal Fruitvale,\u201d and uses her art to promote social change and activism.
