"Fuck NYPD" and "No More Pigs" on Kiosk Map
Graffiti on a New York public kiosk map. Includes "FTP," "Fuck NYPD," and "No More Pigs." Stickers include "Karen Sucks," "We Need Your Story," and "Defund The Police."
These were part of a month-long protest encampment at New York City's City Hall Park Area, organized by Vocal New York. The protesters lived and slept in front of the mayor office for one month, demanding that 1 billion dollars be removed from the New York City Police Department annual budget. During that month (June 22 - July 22, 2020) protesters defaced buildings, sidewalks, and subway entrances. Graffiti was a tool for their messages.

"People Have The Power" | Bringing Back Bowery
A wash of white paint covers the majority of a plywood plank. A figure with green skin and short hair that blends with its facial stubble serves as the focal point of the mural. The figure is a cyclops, with a large, single eye with a blue iris, long orange nose, large pink lips, and yellow cheeks. In the upper right corner, on a yellow background, black lettering announces to the viewer: "People Have The Power".
The artist deliberately leaves two posters attached to the plywood visible: "Missing Person" posters for a Black woman named Sierra Coombs. 26 year old Coombs was reported missing by her family in Brooklyn, New York on June 5th, 2020. Coombs was found safely on July 13, 2020.
Black women who are reported missing are routinely ignored in news cycles. Without the aid of public awareness, families often struggle to find their loved ones. Although there are countless Black women whose names have not made it to social media, the circulation of Coombs name was widespread and may have resulted in her safe return to her family.
