Defund the Police

Defund the Police

Henry Street side of Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, 251 State St, Madison, WI 53703

This work includes are cartoon depiction of a uniformed Minneapolis police officer carrying a baton, he is wearing a helmet that says “M.P.D.” and sunglasses that reflect a fire. The character stands over a fire and in the smoke above the fire the words spell out “Defund the Police.” The work is outlined in barbed wire and in the top right corner is a cartoon depiction of the sun that has been beaten, with band-aids covering its half-smiling face. The rays of the sun have been replaced with police batons.
