Winston Smith Graffiti on Uptown Theater, Minneapolis

Graffiti reading "DO YOU KNOW WHO WINSTON SMITH IS??" is spray-painted on the glass doors of the Uptown Theater in Minneapolis. The Uptown Theatre, a historic movie palace opened in 1926, has been a prominent landmark on Hennepin Avenue. The graffiti appears to be related to the Minneapolis Uprising, a period of civil unrest and protest that occurred in the city. The question posed by the graffiti suggests a reference to a specific individual or cultural figure, possibly an artist or activist, whose identity or actions were relevant to the events of that time.
