In 2017, Mikhael Tara Garver was part of the team behind the Women's March in Washington DC. She also designed the #NOBAN Human banner in Battery Park, New York. After a call to action over social media, New Yorkers from around the city showed up at Battery Park. Garver directed them in the activation protesting the newest Muslim ban. Each letter made up of volunteers holding up flags from each country banned entry to the United States.  Garver was the creative director of the installation in collaboration with the Women's March and Drone artist Bryan Dumas www.bdumasonline.com

 
 

As artists we get to make worlds that reflect the word we see and the world we want.  I want a world that faces our ugliness with grace, courage and beauty.  So I find myself drawn to this work. - MTG
