Story
Save The Boards is a grassroots community-based project dedicated to the accessibility and long-term preservation of plywood art murals & messages created in response to the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police. Kenda Zellner-Smith started the project by enlisting the help of her friend and roommate, Emma Shepherd. The pair alongside other Twin Cities community members have contributed to the preservation of more than 1,000 plywood boards and murals.
Save the Boards believes in taking action with urgency in order to raise public awareness about police brutality, the power of protest, and the healing social justice art provides us with.
Save the Boards collects, documents activates, and redistributes these visual pieces of our cities history, back into community spaces, so that they may continue to serve as reminders of the undeniable strength of our community through continued reflection, creative expression, and the visual storytelling these works of art allow us to take in. If you are a local TC business looking to add a board to your space permanently, please shoot us an email.
PROVIDE ACCESS TO MULTI-MEDIA-BASED PLATFORMS OF GEORGE FLOYD-INSPIRED STREET ART THAT CULMINATED IN THE STREETS OF MINNEAPOLIS FOLLOWING HIS MURDER. Save the Boards believes in community collaborations and idea-sharing, such that we may continue to use Minneapolis boards and murals as tools of learning, healing, and reflection long after the physical pieces begin to deteriorate and or transition into their next phase of life.
