MoMA responds to Trump’s immigration ban through its collection
The museum installs works by artists from Muslim nations in its permanent galleries

The art world has been a leading force in addressing contested issues of the Trump administration, from Shepard Fairey‘s “We the People” poster series to a rehang featuring work by artists from the countries named in the travel ban at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. In addition, the Museum of the City of New York has staged an new photography exhibition titled “Muslim in New York.”
There’s also been smaller, more grassroots efforts like Dear Ivanka, an effort to appeal to First Daughter Ivanka Trump led by art world professionals.
The Davis is encouraging other museums to follow its lead, and has wall labels, a pro-bono project from the Boston design firm Stoltze Design, reading “made by an immigrant” or “given by an immigrant” available for download on its website.
