Planks used to board up New York shops during George Floyd unrest are being transformed into art


Last summer, as tensions rose over the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, store owners in New York boarded up their businesses in anticipation of rioting or looting.
Now, weeks after former officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of Floyd s murder, a a group of artists have taken the wooden planks used to board up those shops and transformed them into outdoor art.
The artists were chosen from among 200 entrants to participate in the  Plywood Protection Project, using some 200 pieces of plywood sourced from local stores. 
Their sculptures address a variety of issues, from Black Lives Matter to the return of  public performance in the wake of COVID-19. ....
