BRING A Memorial Field TO YOUR LOCATION

If a church or institution would like to sponsor an installation in your community, a downloadable version is available. It can be printed locally for an interior or exterior installation. The installation can be an entry point for difficult conversations about co-creating a world without police brutality.

To engage with any of these options, please contact us.
