Black Lives Matter
The Black Lives Matter movement was set up in the US in 2013 in response to the brutal treatment of the police towards people of colour.
In late May 2020 the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis sparked outrage and demonstrations globally showing solidarity to BLM. Police officer Derek Chauvin, who shot Floyd was later unanimously found guilty, so strengthening the groundswell for justice.
These images reference three of numerous murders of unarmed black adults between
March and August 2020 in the USA at the hands of the police.
Throughout this double page collection smudgy finger daubs create the images.
