The People’s Closet & Piano, George Floyd Square, Minneapolis

The People's Closet, a community clothing exchange, and a painted piano stand at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis. This area, located at E 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, transformed into a protest zone following the May 25, 2020, death of George Floyd. The People's Closet, also known as the Metro Clothing Closet, provides free clothing and resources, reflecting the mutual aid efforts that emerged within the protest space. The presence of the piano contributes to the square's identity as a site of remembrance and community gathering, continuing to serve as a hub for activism and support.
