Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo Creates Collage of BLM Artwork
Following the death of George Floyd in May of 2020, artists around Kalamazoo created and installed artwork throughout the city that became part of our city s backdrop for several months. They seemed to appear overnight; colorful signs begging the world not to forget and bringing with them messages of hope. I passed by the painting of Breonna Taylor and Floyd on the gates of Arcadia Creek on my way home from work every day. Rain or shine, those canvases stood, calling silent attention to the systemic problem of racism within our society.
