Year-in-Review

Memorial tag for Lucki Pannell

Memorial tag for Lucki Pannell

As we begin to take stock of this year’s deadly violence, we remember that victims are so much more than numbers. All year we have read their names, seen their photos, and heard from their family and friends in moments of grief, despair and sometimes, hope.

The art created in these victims’ memories has been heartbreakingly beautiful. In an attempt to honor the memories of this year’s homicide victims, and to recognize the work of the artists among us, Homicide Watch has launched an open Flickr gallery.

We hope you’ll join us by sharing photographs of memorial art that has touched you this year. Memorial art takes many forms, from street shrines to t-shirts to posters and nail art.

The gallery will remain open until Dec. 14, at which point we will publish it on HomicideWatch as part of our year-in-review coverage.

Add your photo to the Flickr gallery, submit it in comments here, or email it to Homicide Watch DC Editor Laura Amico at HomicideWatchDC [at] gmail.com. On Facebook? Share with us there in this album.
