Murals for Racial Justice
The Murals for Racial Justice Project emerged in response to the nationwide unrest after the unjust murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Involving over 20 artists, this initiative has given the local Black creative community an opportunity to tell their own story in the form of large scale art pieces publicly displayed on storefronts across downtown Indianapolis.
