Urban Art Mapping Research Project Hosts George Floyd and Anti-Racist Street Art and COVID-19 Street Art Databases

Hyperallergic published Hakim Bishara’s Mapping Anti-racist Street Art in Minneapolis and Worldwide back in April. You can contribute an image to the George Floyd & Anti-Racist Street Art database here or the Covid-19 Street Art database here. From Hyperallergic:

“Street art matters because it represents the voices of the community, often providing a counter-institutional perspective, and so a crowd-sourced archive is in keeping with the goals of this art form itself,” the team said. “People have used walls to claim space, tell their stories, express their anger, show their vision for the future: our goal is to amplify these voices and experiences and to make sure that these textual and visual messages are not erased.”
