Street art and anti-racism: For example, the mural depicting George Floyd painted by local artists on the side wall of Cup Foods at 38^th St and Chicago in Minneapolis has helped to transform a location that was initially a tragic marker of an extrajudicial antiblack murder into an important community space for memorialization, organizing, fellowship, and healing. The image of George Floyd as imagined by the muralists has become the dominant representation of George Floyd and has become representative of the collective response to this senseless act of violence.

Project goals: The Urban Art Mapping George Floyd and Anti-Racist Street Art database seeks to document examples of street art from around the world that have emerged in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd as part of an ongoing movement demanding social justice and equality. The database will serve as repository for images and a future resource for scholars and artists by way of metadata that is freely available. In addition, the project will make possible an analysis of the themes and issues that appear in street art, explored in relation to local experiences, responses, and attitudes.

Created by: Dr. Todd Lawrence, Dr. Paul Lorah, and Dr. Heather Shirey with the Urban Art Mapping Research Project.

Our student research collaborators (past and present) include Tiaryn Daniels, Amber Delgado, Summer Erickson, Shukrani Nangwala, Adem Ojulu, Frederica Simmons, Hannah Shogren-Smith, Olivia Tjokrosetio, Chioma Uwagwu, Eve Wasylik, and Rachel Weiher.
