Hufan Restaurant & Cafe, Lake Street, Minneapolis Graffiti and Mural

Were Open mural and Transtifa graffiti on Lake Street
The Hufan Restaurant & Cafe on Lake Street in Minneapolis displays a mural reading "We're Open" with an arrow, alongside graffiti art including "Transtifa" on the building's upper facade. This imagery reflects the period following the 2020 Minneapolis Uprising, when businesses often boarded up windows and doors for protection. The artwork serves as a visual record of resilience, solidarity, and community identity during a time of significant social and economic disruption in the city.
