BLM
Two "BLM"'s, one a quick blue tag and the other a more intricate throw-up. The larger BLM was painted in a box of tape to create sharp lines around the border. It is signed either "AC" or "QC" in the lower left corner.

Burn Something Public Exhibit
Twelve black panels. The first reads "Burn Something A public art exhibition presented by the Emerging Curators Institute" followed by large blocks of text. The second panel is a print of a drawing of naked women in a room, followed by "Genevieve DeLeon, carrying one another, 2019, pencil on paper," and a block of text. The third panel is a print of a Black person on their back, one hand extended palm-up, with flowers around their head. Other Black people stand around them, one pouring milk into their eyes, a common tear-gas remedy. The person wears a shirt that says "Just Us?" Below the image reads "Lane Eliyahu, After Jamar, 2020, acrylic on foam board," and a block of text. The fourth panel is two photographs, one of two Black hands fastening a watch, the other of a man with dreadlocks leaning over a railing, followed by "Zota Ellen, Untitled 2020, Digital photograph" and a block of text. The fifth panel shows a Black person with lined shadows, all in blue, yellow, and red, followed by "Justice Jones, Primary Self-Portrait, 2019, pencil and acrylic on paper," and a block of text. The sixth panel shows an abstract painting with red, blue, yellow, white, and pink, followed by "Lisa Karpeh, In This They Carry Joy, 2019, acrylic on canvas," and a block of text. The seventh panel shows a white image with small black figures, including a whale and tiny humans. It is followed by "katie robinson, witness; what brought me here, 2016, pen on paper," and a block of text. The eighth panel shows a photograph of a Black family in a bathroom, with the silhouette of a young child erased from the image. Underneath, it says "Kieran Myles-André Tverbakk, missing, 2019, digital print," and a block of text. The ninth panel is all black with white cursive letters reading "I hope to God that my tele' don't ring -Noname," with "ring" written again in red. The tenth panel is in the same style, reading "Ain't no one safe in this happy city." The eleventh panel is a painting of a red rotary-dial phone. The twelfth panel shows the same phone with the headpiece off the hook.

Disconnect
A large 6 part plywood mural has been painted white. "Disconnect" has been painted in bubble letters on the left 3 panels. Surrounding this lettering, various symbols appear such as a TV with the word "lies" painted in the center, a needle, a virus graphic, a Wall Street Sign, a bullet, a money sign, a fire, a phone, a fist, a heart with "Taylor" painted inside, a sunset or sunrise, a pencil, music notes, a receipt for 2020, and text reading "educate our youth." Within these symbols the names of those murdered by police are painted in red. These include "Grant," "Castile," "Floyd," "Brown," "Rice," "Gray," "Garner," "Martin," and "Bland." The far right panel shows blue and white painted lettering spelling "Respect" with various symbols painted under it. The panel next to this is painted with swirls of multi colored psychedelic swirls. The center panel shows an orange figure and a ringed planet. It appears that multiple artists participated in this large mural.
