“Please i can’t breath” πάνω από τις πόλεις των ΗΠΑ

Τα τελευταία λόγια του Τζορτζ Φλόιντ έγιναν συνθήματα στις ΗΠΑ και μάλιστα πήραν τη… θέση τους στον αμερικάνικο ουρανό.

Κατά τη διάρκεια του Σαββατοκύριακου, πανό που έγραφαν «Παρακαλώ, δεν μπορώ να αναπνεύσω» και «Θα με σκοτώσουν» αιωρούνταν στον ουρανό του Ντιτρόιτ και στην πόλη της Νέας Υόρκης, αντίστοιχα.

In response to the recent murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police, I initiated a public demonstration that extended across 5 cities on Saturday, May 30 between the hours of 11:30 AM and 9 PM EST. Airplanes with banners presenting Floyd’s final words connected these places across the United States to support Minneapolis in a national protest against police brutality within the African American community.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ DETROIT: PLEASE I CAN’T BREATHE. ⁠⠀ MIAMI: MY STOMACH HURTS. ⁠⠀ DALLAS: MY NECK HURTS. ⁠⠀ LOS ANGELES: EVERYTHING HURTS. ⁠⠀ NEW YORK: THEY’RE GOING TO KILL ME.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This presentation is an act of social conscience and protest meant to bring people together in their shared incense at the inhumane treatment of American citizens. The deployment of Floyd’s last words in parts of its whole across the country underlines a need for unity and the conviction that what happened to George Floyd is happening all over America.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Like countless silenced and fearful young black men, I have been the victim of police misconduct on a number of occasions in my life. At some point, they will realize they can’t kill us all.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Thank you to my gallery, Library Street Collective, for their generous support.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #BlackLivesMatter #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #JammieHolmes #JHolmes @LibraryStreetCollective #LibraryStreetCollective⁠⠀ Photos by @hayden__scott, Andre De Aguilar, Mark LaBoyteaux, @ItsSlickRick, @suekwon_
