The Few and Far Mural (aka, "Ode to Oakland") was a wall on Mandela Parkway created by 17 women who are part of Few and Far Women, women who participate in artistic endeavors that are traditionally male dominated like street art/graffiti, skate culture, DJing, etc.

On June 12-14 2015, Few and Far reunited to repaint this wall at 2569 Mandela Parkway. 

Artists include: ShevaBeth Emmerich,
