Prof. Ricardo Miranda will be showing work at Graffiti U.S Immigration

Prof. Ricardo Miranda will show his work at:
Graffiti U.S. Immigration,
Sat., Feb. 14th | 1-3PM
Storefront for Ideas, 172 Walker St, Chinatown, Manhattan

At the Storefront for Ideas, nine panels featuring U.S. Immigration acts dating back to the 1740 Parliament Plantation Act hang on a wall.  Amongst the selection of this country’s immigration acts are the 1798 Alien and Seditions Acts, a wartime law that has been resurrected by Trump, the 1868 14th Amendment protecting persons born or naturalized in the U.S. as citizens, the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act and the 2002 Homeland Security Act that established ICE.  Visitors are invited to graffiti all these acts at a time when the rule of law has been desecrated by federal officers by murdering citizens, separating families, forcibly taking law-abiding residents.  Paint, brushes, markers, food and drink will be available for this Valentine’s Day activity.
