University of North Texas ripped for ‘censorship’ after canceling exhibit featuring anti-ICE art
NY Post
The University of North Texas College of Visual Arts and Design has canceled an art exhibit featuring anti-US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) artwork.
Kera News (NPR for North Texas) reported Tuesday that “an anonymous tip to the Denton Record-Chronicle on Wednesday alleged that the exhibit, ‘Ni De Aquí, Ni De Allá,’ by acclaimed street artist Victor Quiñonez, also known as Marka27, includes work that denounces U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”
Quiñonez is described on his website as “an acclaimed international street artist recognized for blending art forms such as graffiti, vinyl toys, and fashion with art activism.”
Kera News called some of Quiñonez’s art “a pointed criticism of ICE, which has provoked protests all over the country since the Trump administration’s pointed increase in deportations and immigration enforcement.”
One of the “series” listed on Quiñonez’s website is titled the “I.C.E Scream Series,” and is described as a “visual protest turning something as familiar as a paleta into a powerful symbol of systemic oppression. At first glance, the brightly colored frozen treats evoke nostalgia, but a closer look reveals a chilling reality.”
The opening for Quiñonez’s exhibit was set for Feb. 19, Kera News reported.
