FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Fort Wayne's NBC) - An online artist exhibit, put on by Purdue Fort Wayne students, pays tribute to the "Black Lives Matter" movement.

This online-only juried exhibition features artwork by Purdue undergraduate students reflecting on the Black Lives Matter social justice movement.

The art exhibit is titled "A Call For Justice".

Some of the students put together photo collages, videos, music and more.

Fort Wayne's NBC News talked with Christian Stout on how it felt to have his work featured in the online exhibit.

Stout submitted some of his photography from the protests back in the Summer of 2020.

"This was taken on day 2 of the Fort Wayne protests. After walking 5 blocks around the outside of the city we ended up meeting a line of police officers in front of the Hoppy Gnome on Clinton and Berry Street. This next hour tested me mentally seeing the anguish and resilience from many of the protestors as when this picture was shot we had been subjected to tear gas and rubber bullets on two separate occasions beforehand. Everytime we would collect ourselves and push forward. Holding a 20ft gap between us and them. Letting them know that we're here to stay. That we had a purpose. That we were a community of people supporting a cause and each other."
