Anyka Barber opened up the Betti Ono Gallery for drop-ins, so that members of the African-American community, and anyone else feeling the emotional weight of the aftermath of the George Zimmerman trial, could have a safe place to vent, console, empathize, or express their thoughts. At the same time, Jeff Perlstein opened up his spot, Solespace, for an “Art 4 Justice” workshop. At both locations, the windows became message boards for folks to share their feelings about what was going on.
