A place created for his loved ones to reclaim Channara’s memory after he was murdered by the Knoxville Police Department. The installation in the Storefront Window Gallery features a series of interviews, framed photographs and public shrines that invites others who have lost their own to state violence to also share with the public and learn about his story.
