Blank Lives Matter.
Often black, brown, trans lives matter Movements has been misinterpreted by the media and white people. Black,brown,trans groups have been marginalized, underrepresented, and profiled for years in America. These movements are not about comparing races, they are about the fact that social economic structure is designed against black, brown, trans people, it’s about why the average life of a trans person of color is early thirties, it’s about how you’re 3x more Likely to be killed by the police if you’re black, it’s about how young black people can be killed by the police and there’s no mention of their name on television, it’s about DACA recipients being forced out of the only country they’ve ever known, and the list keeps going. It’s time these underrepresented groups get a seat at the table and the mic.
I decided to let this public installation be interactive. I included the words: BLACK, BROWN, TRANS, ALL, BLUE, WHITE, LIVES, MATTER. I included the counter movements to see if the public of Uptown ( a predominant white area), Denver, Colorado would choose white, all, or blue. The public is able to switch the words around as they like. I included pictures of what movements I choose and I hope the public will choose what they deem important.
I’m periodically going to come back and see if the public has interacted what so ever.
