Hennepin Ave Protest Murals, Uptown Minneapolis, Dec 2020

Protest murals adorn boarded-up storefronts along Hennepin Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis. These artworks emerged in the aftermath of the Minneapolis Uprising in May 2020, which followed the murder of George Floyd. The murals served as a public expression of grief, solidarity, and calls for justice, transforming temporary protective barriers into canvases for community voices. Photographed in December 2020, their continued presence months later underscored the ongoing impact and memory of the protests in the urban environment.
