Twin Flames: The George Floyd Uprising from Minneapolis to Phoenix
This Spring, I had an opportunity to help curate an exhibit at the ASU Art Museum with pieces from the George Floyd Global Memorial in Minneapolis. It was powerful to see how the pieces we selected organized into an exhibit.
“In contrast to traditional monuments, “Twin Flames” is a powerful, community-led exhibition that showcases a selection of the thousands of offerings laid by mourners and protesters at George Floyd Square, collected by a group of community caretakers and cataloged by the George Floyd Global Memorial team. This exhibition recognizes that creative and artistic expressions of pain and hope exist beyond the walls of museums, in all forms and a myriad of cultural expressions, and that George Floyd Square is a public space that can teach us how to mobilize as we mourn victims of police violence and imagine a more just world.” Come check it out! It means a lot to the Valley.
