The exhibit features roughly 60 selected works from 30 artists, activists and authors that draw attention to the long-lasting impact of the broken windows theory on marginalised communities. At the entrance, a sculpture by Jordan Weber shows a destroyed police car with plants growing through the broken windshield in soil taken from the burial site of Michael Brown. Brown was an unarmed 18 year old black man whose fatal shooting by Ferguson police resulted in the 2014 Ferguson riots. The plants in the exhibit were chosen specifically as a reference to the death of Eric Garner through a prohibited police chokehold. Garner's death was also the principal inspiration for Molly Crabapple's animated short "Broken Windows" which also appeared at the exhibition.
