As protestors took to NYC’s pandemic-ridden streets, paranoid business owners boarded up their windows with plywood. These boards became blank canvases for Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, LGBTQ+ advocacy, LatinX pride, voter advocacy, and more. Dedicated to preserving these socially, politically, and historically relevant pieces of art, MXD WRLD created a 3D Virtual Corona Art Gallery to assure that as the boards are taken down, the artworks and messages behind them continue to live on indefinitely.
