My wife works with a team of researchers @UofStThomasMN (including @vivaldojenkins) doing work that documents and maps #StreetArt.
They are working now to track examples of street art ( #murals, #graffiti, #stickers, etc.) addressing #COVID19 throughout the world. 1/n

Have you seen examples of #COVID19-related #StreetArt where you live?
If so, you can contribute to a crowd-sourced data collection project that can help document the emergence of urban art that speaks to and about the #Pandemic.

Signal boosts for this thread/call for examples of #COVID19-related #StreetArt, especially by folks who are #Artists (like @FADLABIHIMSELF, @chucku612, @billythebutcher) or who know artists (like @ChromaZoneFest or @wacchicago1), would be a big help! Thanks in advance! 6/6
