Artist Martin Zuniga takes a break from screen printing to pose in front of his traveling art exhibit at SRJC’s One Love Diversity Festival. “Since the market crash in 2008, it has been really tough for us artists. I started ‘Quebo,’ which means, ‘What’s up?’ to take the art into the community. We bring it to schools or different events to make sure art gets to the people,” said Zuniga.

The One Love Diversity Festival on Feb. 28 provided activities and learning opportunities to engage with the diverse culture that is integral to SRJC and the community.

About the Contributor

Adeira Sherpa, Co-Photo Editor

Adeira Sherpa is grammatically challenged and often disorganized. She was accidentally appointed co-photo editor but refuses to give up the title. Adeira is a walking contradiction. She hates driving but chose a job 30 minutes from home and a college that requires an hour in her car each way (she also claims to want to be environmentally friendly but doesn’t drive a hybrid). She says she wants to travel but goes to school less than 20 miles from where she was born. She doesn’t quite fit in the “white” category or the Nepalese, because she doesn’t look like either. Her search for direction brought her to The Oak Leaf, but now she’s more confused than ever.
