In Wake of Trump’s Travel Ban, These Artists Face an Uncertain Future in US

By Brian Boucher, Feb 8, 2017

The move complements an existing petition by academics. Art schools have spoken out forcefully against the ban, as have prominent individuals in the art world, including Getty President James Cuno.

The full text of the petition and list of signatories at publication time follows:

We the undersigned individuals of the international contemporary art field call for the immediate and total overturning of the Executive Order signed by the 45th President of the United States on January 27, 2017, banning entry to any non-US citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen; this encompasses the 90-day suspension of entry by people of those countries (which includes dual nationals), the 120-day suspension of entry by refugees, and the indefinite suspension of entry for Syrian refugees.

In addition to the humanitarian crisis exacerbated by these discriminatory measures, our fellow colleagues are being profiled based on race and/or religion. Should our colleagues have to leave the United States for any reason, they must not fear being denied return; nor should they have to cancel exhibitions or research because they cannot enter this country. Our field is dependent upon international collaboration and cross-cultural exchange, and these cross-border and cross-cultural collaborations benefit the general public; the ban thus affects all of us.

The entirety of the Executive Order is unjust and must be overturned.
