A student art installation at Temple University curiously reads, “White People. Do Something,” and has provoked polarizing reactions across social media.

The Tyler School of Art at Temple University took to their Twitter account to brag about the art installation, which is located on a central quad at the Philadelphia-based institution. Although the project’s meaning remains unclear, it hasn’t stopped community members and internet commentators from speculating about the artist’s motivation.
The “sculpture” was created by graduate art student Kara Springer and has provoked an assortment of confusion, anger, and praise across social media.

Not sure how to read this. Is it commanding white people to do something, or is it a panicked warning that white people are around? https://t.co/AyMepT6qje
