Door Project artists from The Learning Tree, Derek Tuder and Astoshia Young

When DeAmon Harges and some of his Indianapolis neighbors found 25 doors dumped in an alley, they shared them with The Learning Tree, a neighborhood association. The Door Project funded the work of local artists, who created 64 colorful doors that share the narratives of the city’s African-American communities. Derek Tuder’s “No BOBS” door is accompanied by a statement: “Tupac and Biggie, two of the biggest martyrs to black-on-black slayings. We count the cost and the tears.”
