STAND WITH FIRED STAFF: Rally at the Noguchi Museum
Sunday, Sept 8th 3PM @ The Noguchi Museum 9 – 01 33rd Road, Astoria
On Wednesday 9/4/24, three Noguchi Museum gallery attendants were fired for refusing to remove their keffiyehs. Their manager, the director of visitor services, was fired 8/29/24. He was the only Middle Eastern director. These retaliatory firings come after the majority of staff rejected leadership’s sudden keffiyeh ban. The unilateral decision to ban “political dress” brings shame to the Noguchi legacy.
Join former staff and concerned community members in front of the museum to make sure this blatantly anti-Palestinian policy does not go unnoticed!
Please show up with keffiyehs, signs, noisemakers, and friends!
