Four Messages of Hope
Four separate messages of hope. From left to right:
A yellow and red mural reading "Earth Medicine." The next is an abstract burst of blues, purples, and browns. The center of the burst is yellow and contains a quote by Assata Shakur, "It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win." The third is a red flower-like painting with the phrase "We must love each other & support each other." The final mural features another flower-like painting in greens, blues, purples, and yellows with another quote by Assata Shakur, "We have nothing to lose but our chains."
The Medicine Wheel painting is by Erik Newberg; the other paintings are by Chelsey Luciow

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.

It's Bigger Than Black-N-White
Two murals on plywood boards. The plywood board on the door seems to be a partial view of a leafless tree. The left mural features a Black woman surrounded by swirling blue and purple colors. "Respect Black Women" is written next to her. The right mural features a portrait of George Floyd's face. Below his face is written, "It's Bigger Than Black-N-White." Flanking either side of him are protesters holding signs with various messages, including "Vote," "Know Your Laws," "Change is Here," "God's Plan," and "Over come." A skyline of Minneapolis in flames is to the left of him. To the right is the message "R.I.P George Floyd" with a crown on the 'G.' The work is signed #KingKuntaKollection 2020.
