New York, New York, USA
Sparked by the Washington, DC, mayor’s decision to mark a street with "BLACK LIVES MATTER" during the summer of 2020 racial justice protests, dozens of murals were created in small towns and large cities across the US. The Black Lives Matter Harlem street mural was one of eight painted in New York City. Artists designed and painted the northbound mural and, in as much a historic event as a work of art itself, more than 300 community members completed the southbound side over two days. The murals have provided a platform to reframe the conversation about public space, identifying the need for safe spaces for people of color to gather, create, and heal.
This object was previously on display as a part of the exhibition Designing Peace.
