Seattle restores damaged Black Lives Matter mural made during CHOP
The city of Seattle began work Tuesday to restore a deteriorating Black Lives Matter mural on the streets of Capitol Hill.
The mural, which is located on Pine Street between 10th and 11th avenues, was created by 15 artists during the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP) in June. However, parts of the mural are now peeling from the roadway.
The Seattle Office of Arts and Culture (ARTS) said in a statement that the mural restoration acknowledges that area’s cultural significance in the Black Lives Matter movement.
The city plans to work with the artists to remove the current mural, properly prepare the site and then recreate the artwork so it will last.
