Infinite Vapor Floyd the Lion
George Perry Floyd (October 14, 1973 - May 25, 2020) was a 46-year-old Black American man who was murdered by former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin after Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck for nearly 9 minutes in the Powderhorn neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25, 2020. Floyd’s murder sparked an international movement for Black Lives Matter, the largest civil rights movement of the century. On March 12, 2021, the city of Minneapolis agreed to pay $27 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Floyd's family. On June 25, 2021, Chauvin was sentenced to 22.5 years in prison for his crimes.

Paint Our Peace
On the left is a door painted white. Over it, the words "Hope" and "Esperanza" are written. Underneath, there are little symbols such as a smiley face and heart. To the right of the door there is a wall with plywood that has also been painted white. Two phrases, "#PaintourPeace" and "Hope," are painted in large bubble letters and stand out on the board from the rest of the words. Other phrases that are on the board include "MNStrong," "Stronger Together," "'Daddy Changed the World- Gianna Floyd," "We Breathe Together," Spread Love Not Hate," and "I Love E Lake." There is also a painting of George Floyd's face in blue and hearts on the piece.

From the artist: "My artwork; my name is SIG. I am a 22 year old woman artist based out of MPLS. I was there for the rioting and burning down of the precinct. I wanted to donate some beauty to our boarded-up community. "
