CW: violence⁠ ⁠ In June 2020, amid nationwide Black Lives Matter protests, Queens-based landscape and architectural photographer krisgraves received a phone call from natgeo. ⁠ The magazine asked if he would travel to Richmond, Virginia, to photograph the protests there, and in the surrounding area. Graves accepted the assignment and embarked on a weeks-long road trip across eight states, which later resulted in the publication of his project, "American Monuments."⁠ ⁠ For his project, Graves re-envisioned the 60-foot-tall statue of Robert E. Lee on Richmond's Monument Avenue into an art installation to memorialize Black people killed by white violence. Graves partnered with Dustin Klein of VIDEOmeTRY, who projected large-scale portraits onto the monument's surface, which had been covered with BLM graffiti and imagery. ⁠ ⁠ Tap the #linkinbio to read more about Kris Graves and his work capturing turmoil in the South.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 🏷#GettyResearchInstitute #ProtestPhotography #Photography #...
