Abstract: In the wake of George Floyd’s murder during the summer of 2020, protestors painted large ‘BLACK LIVES MATTER’ murals on streets of the United States, forcing politicians to confront these words tattooing their cities. Each creation and reception of a Black Lives Matter (BLM) mural is entwined within the machinations of city bureaucracies whose foundations are built upon racial capitalism and is enforced by militarized police. To analyse the removal of Black Lives Matter murals is to contextualize them within this history of racialized police violence and erasure, but to do so within an environment of mundane policy-hearings. The removal of Tulsa, Oklahoma’s BLM mural by its city government will be a case study of how bureaucracy can implement ‘race neutral’ policy language that ‘leaves no choice’ but erasure. But while some conservative politicians erased BLM murals to neutralize the radical abolitionist and police reform messages, other politicians similarly embraced the creation of BLM murals as a buffer against, instead of a bridge to, making substantial structural change. Washington, DC’s famous BLM mural will be my exemplar of this type of deceptive radical performative politics. This article explores how protest movements and bureaucracies interact, focusing on how the radical demands of the BLM movement can be subsumed by ‘colour blind’ city responses and/or performative politics while pointing to larger combative histories of how race is policed within the United States.

Abstract: Penghapusan mural yang dilakukan oleh jajaran Kepolisian Republik Indonesia (Polri) menuai reaksi publik dan menganggap pemerintah antri kritik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui komunikasi politik Polri untuk menghadapi kritik melalui Bhayangkara Mural Festival 2021. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis kualitatif. Dari penelitian ini dapat diketahui bahwa Mural sebagai media komunikasi politik, digunakan Polri untuk menjawab tudingan sebagai lembaga yang anti kritik. Para seniman dapat dengan bebas dan leluasa menyampaikan kritikannya kepada Polri melalui sebuah karya seni mural, kara terbaik akan dilukis di ruang publik. Berbagai pihak memberikan respon dan mengapresiasi langkah Kapolri untuk membuktikan bahwa Polri tidak anti kritik dan menghormati kebebasan berpendapat, serta memberikan ruang kepada para seniman untuk berkarya dan menyampaikan aspirasi maupun kritik di ruang publik. Mural dapat dijadikan sebagai komunikasi politik bagi lembaga pemerintah maupun lembaga lainnya untuk menanggapi kritikan dari masyarakat, dan membangun citra positif lembaga, serta dapat menjadi media untuk menyampaikan kampanye positif kepada khalayak. Lomba mural dapat rutin diselenggarakan agar menjadi ruang bagi para muralis untuk berekspressi membuat karya seni yang diisi dengan pesan-pesan postif, maupun berisikan kritikan yang membangun.
