“Viva Palestine” Protest Graffiti, Coffman Memorial Union

Graffiti expressing solidarity with Palestine covers a wall outside Coffman Memorial Union at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. This public display emerged during a period of sustained pro-Palestinian protests on campus, reflecting student activism concerning the war in Gaza. Messages such as 'VIVA PALESTINE,' 'Free Palestine,' and calls for a ceasefire are visible, alongside symbols like the watermelon, which has become a symbol of Palestinian resistance. Coffman Memorial Union, a central hub for student life and activities, frequently serves as a focal point for campus protests and public discourse.
