Susan Eley was interviewed\u00a0by\u00a0Saeed Kamali Dehghan<\/a>\u00a0at The Guardian<\/a> for an article on the most recent developments with the Trump travel\u00a0ban. She discusses how the Iranian artists in our current exhibition are affected by the ban, and the importance of staying vocal and active\u00a0during these uncertain political times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t think even without this new supreme court justice that it would pass \u2013 I don\u2019t know what will happen in the fall but any victory for Trump on this is awful for us as a country, culturally, politically, socially,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on this ban, most of the artists who were in the show \u2013 if this ban had been in effect when they came here as immigrants \u2013 we wouldn\u2019t have their art on these walls. Some of the artists remain nameless because they go back to Iran, so those sorts of artists will probably think again about going back and forth to visit family in Iran, they\u2019ll probably stay here, for the fear of not being able to get back in.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cWe\u2019re going to see all sorts of reaction, people going to the airport again, to Washington, in protest. I think we have to stay outraged.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
