Concrete examples for new statement on [Muslim] Travel Ban
The National Coalition Against Censorship (US) are preparing a new statement in response to Trump's latest (3rd) proposed Travel Ban and are looking for recent, concrete examples of how the proposed ban(s) have affected artists thus far, chilling invitations to certain artists, obstructing their mobility, access to their work, etc. What are some of the specific, actual effects on artists, whether they are from the countries listed in the ban or not? Have institutions or festivals become more hesitant to invite artists who may run into visa troubles? (etc)
Please drop us a line below or write me at fernando.bittencourt@ietm.org if you know of any specific examples including where a visa process has been slowed down, for instance, or difficult re-entry into the US, even with a visa or green card. We will forward your answers to our colleagues at NCAC.
