The First 100+ Days is an exhibit of Ohio-based artists' responses to the first phase of Donald Trump's term, specifically with regard to his immigration policy. The artworks feature stories from immigrant and refugee communities in the US, address the practical application of this administration's direction, consider how the media influences our political discourse, and capture the radical potential of artistic activism. The hard-hitting and varied responses from artists living in a strategically positioned swing state will be supported by a timeline of actions taken since January 20, 2017 to introduce, enact, and protest changing immigration policy during this time of political urgency and uncertainty.

Opening reception: 6-9pm May 5: Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association of Cleveland will participate in The First 100+ Days opening reception with a "Meet a Muslim" campaign. They will be available to increase understanding of Islam and engage with questions audience members may have about issues related to Muslim immigration.
