A piece by artist Shaun Leonardo that’s intended to invite community dialogue about one’s experiences with law enforcement will be installed on the University of Houston campus this week.
The phrase “Your First Interaction with Law Enforcement” will be presented on the exterior wall of the UH Fine Arts Building, prompting visitors to anonymously submit – through a QR code – memories of their initial interactions with law enforcement – creating an accumulating mosaic of narratives comprising the ways in which the University community has learned to define its relationships with policing. People of all ages, colors, communities and backgrounds are invited to participate.
