In the wake of the murder of George Floyd in our South Minneapolis neighborhood, like many both locally and globally, I couldn’t sit idly by and allow the atrocities to go unchecked. I endeavored to create thought-provoking street art as an attempt to drive dialogue around societal division and issues of systemic racial prejudice in the city of Minneapolis. The driving concept was, like racism, our more subversive work would be “in plain sight.” I also articulated to many folks on the street “you have to see it to believe it.” The secondary goal was to lift up the people, businesses and friends in our community that had been ravaged by the unrest and destruction in the city of Minneapolis. In this ultra-divisive digital age, I don’t see this as a merely a left vs right issue, but simply a basic human rights issue. Decency, civility and respect for your fellow citizen are all lessons we’re taught in kindergarten. While there was initially no financial component to this work, the community repeatedly insisted upon donating to the cause. Ultimately we chose to give all proceeds to the Dinomights youth hockey organization headquartered in Powderhorn near 38th & Chicago and Black Girls Hockey Club.
