*Land of the Free*

Free Opening Reception: Friday, October 6 at 7 PM
***Land of the Free*** captures the daily life of Moeinedin Shashaei, a newly immigrated Iranian US resident facing the absurdity of vilification.

The show presents some of Shashaei's 90 photographs taken in the 90 days immediately following the signing of Executive Order
13769, entitled, "Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry to the United States" and commonly referred to as the "travel ban." It stands as an homage to all the memories forged by the artist in a city that he loves dearly.
