Memorialize the Movement’s (MTM) Justice for George: Our Strength, Our Story exhibition is a community event that displays the protest murals from the Minneapolis uprisings of 2020, highlights Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) artists, speakers, and performers, and brings the community together to collectively heal, reflect, and learn.
The goals of this exhibition are to commemorate the life and death of George Floyd, address and process historical and current trauma specifically of BIPOC people in the community, create a space for healing and learning through art, and keep the protest plywood murals relevant in the public eye so they are not forgotten. Art has always been an important tool for sparking conversations around social movements. MTM aims to continue that tradition not only by challenging the people who come to see these murals, but by challenging the museum and conservation industries as well.
