'Art Endangers Fascist Leaders': Protesters Project Images Onto SF Federal Building to Oppose Trump's Proposed Budget Cuts
A group of art advocates on Thursday shone a bright light on President Donald Trump's plans to cut funding to art programs As part of "The Art He Fears" protest, they projected unflattering images of Trump onto the San Francisco Federal Building in SoMA.
"Art endangers fascist leaders,” activist Alan Marling said in a statement. “It can express ideas that oppose the government’s narrative. In times when authority tries to deny all opposing views as fake news, art can fight propaganda with truth."
Artist Karen Fiorito provided one of the images that was projected last night. The picture of Trump, amid swastikas and mushroom clouds, made headlines last week after it appeared on a Phoenix billboard.
Trump's proposed budget calls for deep cuts to the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities, the Institute of Museum and Library Services and public broadcasting, including NPR.
The White House, which plans to bolster defense spending, says the cuts will save more than a billion dollars.
“Art” like Piss Christ?
Leftists projecting much?
Hitler was an art student. Yet another thing snowflakes don't know about fascism.
Defund these creeps. Taxpayers shouldn’t have to subsidize their enemies.
Surely national security should take 2nd place to liberals wanting to express their inner selves by throwing dung and piss at paintings of people and ideas they hate.
“Art” can be a booger with a hair in it!
These people are bat chit crazy.
They really like to pretend that fascists would allow their street theater and puppet shows.
I feel so ashamed. I’ve been cleaning up my family’s great masterpieces for years.
How very bourgeois of you ...
... don't you know that true minimalist art doesn't require the hair!
As one “artist” said about forty five years ago...”ANY THING I SPIT IS ART!”
