The curators of the event hung the black flag over Porta San Felice, one of the ten historic Gates of the city. The flag, its warning and its criticism travel uncomfortably well through history and space. Although Bologna is far away from New York or Baltimore, we should never take for granted basic human rights, especially not in Europe where adherence to far-right ideologies is on the rise. And although Italian police officers are nowhere near as trigger happy as their U.S. counterparts, there have been a number of incidents in recent years that strongly suggest police racism. I\u2019m thinking about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilmessaggero.it\/en\/tragic_incident_at_porta_nuova_the_story_of_moussa_diarra-8429341.html\">Moussa Diarra<\/a> killed by a police officer in Verona (Matteo Salvini cheered his death with a cruel tweet saying \u201cHe will not be missed\u201d.) Or the young Ramy who was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ansa.it\/english\/news\/general_news\/2025\/01\/10\/ramy-charge-of-road-homicide-remains-for-now_dc545096-19cf-4638-8e2b-14533a8a16aa.html\">killed<\/a> in a scooter accident likely caused by the man driving police car (again, Salvini\u2019s comment on the event demonstrated a total absence of compassion.) Or migrants <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/jun\/07\/five-italian-police-accused-of-torturing-migrants-and-homeless-people\">tortured<\/a> by Italian police officers in Verona. There are many other cases. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy art often looks at how the past sets the stage for the present but also exists in the present in new form,\u201d Scott writes. \u201cThis artwork is an unfortunately necessary update to address a horror from the past that is haunting us in the present.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tired of the epidemic of police killing people in the USA, artist Dread Scott printed the words \u201cA Man Was Lynched by Police Yesterday\u201d on a flag.
