Minneapolis Uprising Art: “This Town Ain’t Got No Heart”

Posters with the phrases "Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart" and "You just gotta walk around" are displayed on utility boxes in Minneapolis. These messages emerged during the 2020 Minneapolis Uprising, a period of civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd. The artwork reflects a sentiment of community resilience and a call to look beyond surface-level perceptions of the city's spirit during a time of significant social and political upheaval. The posters serve as a visual reminder of the collective response and the ongoing dialogue about the city's identity and its people.
