Ceci N'est Pas un Juif Ni un Musulman. (This is neither a Jew nor a Muslim.)

If you think anti-Semitism and Islamophobia happens only in other parts of the world, here are three examples right here in the United States. In 2015, a 14 year-old Texas teenager, Ahmed Mohamed, was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school. Despite the fact he told his teachers it wasn't a bomb, the police arrested him anyway. Conservative doyenne, Ann Coulter, has no problem disparaging Jews. She has referred to "f---ing Jews" in a tweet. And, in November 2017, Donald Trump tweeted links to incendiary anti-Muslim videos allegedly showing violent Muslims. He has consistently portrayed Islam as dangerous, both with his words ("Islam hates us") and his deeds (the Muslim ban).


The posters in this series reflect the conflicts the American political system has been experiencing during the turbulent period between 2010-2018. They are meant to encourage an exploration and a dialogue about the cultural minefield we now find ourselves in.

The characterization of people for the sole purpose of demeaning them is on the rise. Tribalism is the antithesis of America’s “melting pot.”
