Artists Stand with Residents Against Artwashing
Fiat Chrysler (FCA) and The City of Detroit (City Walls and Office of Arts, Culture and Entrepreneurship) are attempting to use murals and artists to artwash and cover up the destruction of a neighborhood on the Eastside by the expansion of the Mack Avenue Engine Complex.
 
We as artists and city residents act in solidarity with the neighbors living in the area being negatively impacted by the FCA project.

We refuse to participate in the mural project unless the city and FCA meet the neighbors' demands addressing damage to their health and homes.  
 
We support art that is for and by the community, not weaponized against us.
We denounce this blatant act of masking injustice with murals, and using artists to validate state violence. The city continues to try and use artists to further displacement with one hand while with the other criminalizing artists, and repeatedly targeting and fining neighborhood and community art spaces.
