The year 2020 was a difficult year for the world. In the midst of a global pandemic , America was faced with another brutal killing of a black man at the hands of the police, which set off an uprising that filled our streets with voices of objection, to the systemic racism here in America. With the community’s emotions heightened and our demands now physically on Richmond City walls through tags, these expressions leave and mark a space for questions and conversations to happen. These actions inspired the artist Hamilton Glass to pull together over 30 artist in the City of Richmond start the Mending Walls project.
