On May 25th, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year old black male, was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota by a police officer who held his knee on Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. People took to the streets to protest and to enact change. Joshua Edmonds’ photography exhibition shares just a fragment of that reaction that took place in Columbus, Ohio.
The exhibition and related programming are part of an ongoing collaboration between Ohio State's Frank W. Hale, Jr. Black Cultural Center, Office of Diversity and Inclusion, and Urban Arts Space. It is presented in conjunction with The HeART of Protest series convened by The King Arts Complex. More than twenty arts and cultural organizations in Columbus have teamed up for The HeART of Protest, which includes 46 non-sequential days of artistic protest determined by each organization to honor the 46 years of Mr. George Floyd’s life.
