Stopping a Movement While Saving Its Art
Los Angeles government officials are preserving some of the art created during Occupy Wall Street, the first major city to do so
Though the history of Occupy Wall Street is still being written, some of the movement's artwork is already receiving attention from preservationists.
While there are multiple efforts to organize local gallery shows for the tent cities' protest art, Los Angeles is taking the unusual step of organizing a preservation process for a major mural created in its encampment. It is the first major city to do so.
