Mapping Patterns of Power Reclamation

Throughout New York City in the weeks following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020, masses of people traversed the streets of Manhattan in a unified movement, exchanging support, ideas, presence, passion, value, and awareness in a dérive-like manner that consumed the city. This project uses spatial methods to identify patterns in protest movements to better understand how protesters responded to their surrounding environment and reclaimed urban space for their cause.
