Summary note

• A stunning collection of murals that appeared in the Twin Cities in 2020. Art and Artifact: Murals from the Minneapolis Uprising features one hundred full-page, full-color images of murals that appeared across the Twin Cities following the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police on May 25, 2020. The murals in this volume were collected by Leesa Kelly and are archived by Memorialize the Movement, the grass- roots organization she founded and leads as its executive director. This volume includes critical essays that document the collection and care of the murals, providing historical context and locating the archive within a larger national effort to preserve the art and artifacts of the 2020 protests for racial justice that began in Minneapolis then spread across the country and around the world.
• "It would be difficult to overstate the local, national, and international impact of the murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis Police on May 25, 2020, and the Minneapolis uprising that followed. This book shows the reverberations of these events through the prolific and spontaneous appearance of murals in Minneapolis and St. Paul during the subsequent months. An exhibition companion and collaboration between the Katherine E. Nash Gallery and the grassroots organization Memorialize the Movement (MTM), Art and Artifact features 100 color images of murals that were created in the Twin Cities in 2020. The contributors provide historical and interpretive context for the art, situating the efforts of MTM to collect, save, and display the Twin Cities murals as part of a larger preservation effort that simultaneously occurred nationwide"-- Provided by publisher.
