Urban Art Mapping

The Urban Art Mapping Project @ the University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, MN -- documenting and mapping street art around the world.

[Urban Art Mapping @MappingArt]

Calling all community members, activists, caretakers, and documentarians - we still need help documenting graffiti, stickers, and other forms of street art created as a protest of ongoing racially motivated violence plaguing our society. Upload images @ https://t.co/HYfUqcMu74.

Team co-director @HeatherShirey4 being interviewed about the George Floyd and Anti-Racist Street Art Database this morning. As she explained, we are interested in documenting how street art changes over time, so keep sending us those pictures!

These artworks in streets across the country so powerful and emotional ahead of the 1 year anniversary of George Floyd's death next week. Great conversation @TanyaRivero on CBSN with co-directors at the Urban Art @Mappingart Project. #GeorgeFloyd @CBSNews https://t.co/fWOzs9gJz8

We are still at it documenting this historic moment. When you see any antiracist art in the streets - from the smallest tag to the largest mural - snap a pic and send it to us. The movement isn’t over. Use our online submission page to do your part: https://t.co/KOh5wJikuD

[Urban Art Mapping @MappingArt]

Back at it today with @STB2MTM digitally archiving newly arrived boards. If you have physical boards dm them. If you have images of any street art - from tags to stickers to murals - send them to us or upload them yourself at our database site. #StreetArt #graffiti #antiracist

[Urban Art Mapping @MappingArt]

A striking example from the hundreds of boards collected by @STB2MTM. If you have or know of boards that need a home, please dm them. If you have images of any kind of art from the movement, please submit them on our site. Our work isn’t finished!

[Urban Art Mapping @MappingArt]

The team was at it today photographing boards collected and preserved by @STB2MTM. They are doing amazing work and we are excited to partner with them. Only about 500 more to go!

[Urban Art Mapping @MappingArt]

Looking forward to talking about our project at this conference!

Smithsonian Mag reprinted our piece on the database! Check it out. And don’t forget - new art is still popping up everywhere. There are many cities we still don’t have art from. We see you out there! Help us preserve your part of the movement!
