Karmel Square construction, Lake Street, Minneapolis

June 1, 2022

Karmel Square development on Lake Street in Minneapolis — Construction is underway at Karmel Square on Lake Street in Minneapolis, a site that gained prominence following the 2020 Minneapolis Uprising. The building's facade features a mural with the quote "YOU HAVE TO ACT AS IF IT WERE POSSIBLE TO RADICALLY TRANSFORM THE WORLD AND YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALL THE TIME." The mural includes a portrait of George Floyd, a Black man whose murder by Minneapolis police officers sparked widespread protests. The construction project represents ongoing development in the area, juxtaposed with the powerful artistic statement addressing social justice and systemic change.
