Cubberley Community Center Mural
San Francisco-based artist Cameron Moberg was commissioned during the spring of 2024 to create a site-specific mural for the Cubberley Community Center. Cameron "Camer1" Moberg's art often has a theme of life, nature, positivity and spirituality. Moberg's mural "Generations" spanning over two walls on the H- and U-wings at the north-east end of the Campus is inspired by the artist's community outreach and interactions with stakeholders and community members at Cubberley: "As I walked through the halls of Cubberley, inspiration was coming at me around every turn, the music, the art, the learning, but what struck me most was the generations of people I met. I heard stories from how a woman’s mother took her to Cubberley as a child and now she takes her daughter. It wasn’t just one story like that, there were multiple. I wanted to capture this in the hands representing different stages of life. The butterflies represent the change and beauty that this can bring to the world and the key and keyhole connecting the two walls – like a portal opening up into learning, opportunities and the future" - Cameron Moberg.
