In response to the recent murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police, I initiated a public demonstration that extended across 5 cities on Saturday, May 30 between the hours of 11:30 AM and 9 PM EST. Airplanes with banners presenting Floyd’s final words connected these places across the United States to support Minneapolis in a national protest against police brutality within the African American community.⠀
⠀
DETROIT: PLEASE I CAN’T BREATHE. ⠀
MIAMI: MY STOMACH HURTS. ⠀
DALLAS: MY NECK HURTS. ⠀
LOS ANGELES: EVERYTHING HURTS. ⠀
NEW YORK: THEY’RE GOING TO KILL ME.⠀
⠀
This presentation is an act of social conscience and protest meant to bring people together in their shared incense at the inhumane treatment of American citizens. The deployment of Floyd’s last words in parts of its whole across the country underlines a need for unity and the conviction that what happened to George Floyd is happening all over America.⠀
⠀
Like countless silenced and fearful young black men, I have been the victim of police misconduct on a number of occasions in my life. At some point, they will realize they can’t kill us all.⠀
⠀
Thank you to my gallery, Library Street Collective, for their generous support.⠀

最近的美國不平靜⋯⋯

全美各州陸續出現抗議、衝突、暴動、甚至劫掠,
美國的政治情勢也因此有所改變。
各方針對該警官的行為嚴加譴責,
Nike罕見把自家的標語”Just do it!”改成”Don’t do it!”,
連對手Adidas也分享認同,
迪士尼發文呼籲抵制種族歧視(racism),
