Artists Against Police Violence is proud to present our first exhibit in collaboration with EMW Bookstore.
Here is a collection of work that remembers, mourns, and celebrates Black people who were killed by police, and honors the trauma and resistance that follow. By collecting and disseminating these images, we hope to urge forward and continue community resistance against anti-Blackness, and begin the long work of imagining a world without it.
