Tour | Trump Tour
Within the midtown area one is able to get the full spectrum of the Trump story and his rise to power. ... more >> The tour will focus on three main things. The first is looking into the man himself and his history. He is well-connected with organized crime, illicit activity and corrupt dealings, and looking into his history in New York gives a window into that. The second is how he, as a symbol for real estate at large, has massively changed New York’s built environment to cater to a billionaire class at the expense of working New Yorkers. The third, potentially most important, is looking at the systemic nature of Trump’s rise in New York. What Trump has done is about a lot more than the single individual, and by looking at the agencies, actors and government institutions that have supported his rise, we can come away with a larger societal understanding of justice in our country.

Is the dichotomy of censorship versus free speech the only rubric through which to understand recent calls for the removal of art works and closing of exhibitions? How can resistance counteract institutional attempts to absorb and manage it? What does allyship look like in the context of these protests—and what are the limits of such an allyship, or even its risks?
