With the support of Arts Commons, artist Nicole Wolf was able to travel to Seattle during the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP) also defined as Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ). This self-declared autonomous zone was established on June 8, 2020 in response to George Floyd’s death at the hands of police officers. The demands of the protesters were as follows: 1) cut funding for city police by fifty percent, 2) redistribute the funds into community efforts such as restorative justice and health care, and 3) ensure that protesters would not be charged with crimes.

Inside the Fall of CHOP is an exhibition with illustrations and writing by Nicole Wolf, with photographs, editing and writing contributions by Gavin John that takes you inside the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.
