This photograph was printed in 2020 for Magnum Square Prints, as part of a benefit sale--half the proceeds went to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The theme of this sale was Solidarity: Magnum asked participating photo.
The artist writes: "When I first arrived in Minneapolis, Cup Foods, where George Floyd was killed by police, was a place of silence and mourning. As the days continued, the feeling shifted. It was a space for people to reflect on the horrific death, but it also became a place where people made art, served free food, collected for the needy, and even partied after confinement.
