Marcus Minneapolis COVID-19 Portrait, Powderhorn Park

A painted portrait of Marcus Minneapolis, part of the 'Face Me Por Favor' project, stands in Powderhorn Park, South Minneapolis. The artwork features a quote reflecting personal experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic: 'I'm a very active person, being at home is hard, but I know is for the best.' This public art initiative documented individual perspectives and resilience during the widespread shutdowns in Minnesota. Powderhorn Park, a significant green space in South Minneapolis, hosted various community expressions throughout the 2020 pandemic.
