Digital-art memorials to George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and other black victims of white violence are rallying cries for social justice.

“I really just wanted to make graphic resources available to people to make posters, shirts,” Guzman said via email. “From past experience, graphics are always needed in the aftermath of unjust systemic attacks on the public.”Guzman’s work is part of a wave of viral digital art paying tribute to Floyd and other black victims of white violence, including Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, asabroad.

The art is a way to uplift lives often reduced to violent images and videos in media coverage, and to serve as a call to action. In moments of unrest, social media is valuable because of its immediacy, said Guzman, who recently saw his graphic blown up on a poster at a protest. “I feel people now don’t have to wait for the news. They can share the pulse of their own community and be its reporter.”
