Artists install anti-trump living statues in and around DC
https://thehill.com/homenews/news/507877-artists-install-anti-trump-living-statues-around-dc?fbclid=IwAR1lHjKX59_4KisaussrqgVSil5i_keJTuIpeiBATOAd_HpFed2Mg6wdksMLiving statues were installed around Washington, D.C. on Friday depicting President Trump as a "destroyer of civil rights and liberties."
A group of artists known as the Trump Statue Initiative is behind the installations, including one that depicts Trump holding up a Bible while Black Lives Matters protesters are beaten and another showing him telling a masked child to "go back to school" while holding a golf club.
"The concept is that the history he's painting of himself right now, where his narcissistic or racist or self-serving moments abound, this is what he's leaving us with," filmmaker Bryan Buckley told The Hill. Buckley, who was nominated for an Oscar this year, curated the three installations that went up around D.C. on Friday.
