Street Art and George Floyd—a new multimedia project from the GAI
The GAI recently connected with the local scholars and students at St. Thomas University who created the Urban Art Mapping George Floyd and Anti-Racist Street Art database. In Minnesota and around the world, street art has been an important outlet for citizens to express their grief, outrage, and hope about the future after the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020. From breathtaking murals to poignant graffiti, this collection captures the breadth of street art that has been created in response to this moment. Find out more about this multimedia project, which was inspired by the Goethe Institute’s #artbits blog. More about the project
