In January 2017, Donald Trump issued a controversial executive order banning refugees. Days later, Vox published an article listing all of the Republican (and Democratic) congresspeople who remained silent in the face of Trump's action. This video is my response.
Note: Since publication, the numbers shifted considerably (many Republicans voicing support for the executive action), but ultimately the order was withdrawn and replaced with another.
Vox's original article: The very long list of Republicans in Congress who have taken no position on Trump's refugee ban
This project was my way of voicing my disgust. I took the images of the complicit lawmakers and displayed them with the ringing of the ‘Shame’ bell used in Game of Thrones. This work was published on YouTube at the beginning of February, before the original action was withdrawn.
