🔥 This Public Art Is Making Headlines Again—Here’s Why 🔥
Barbara Kruger’s legendary mural at MOCA Los Angeles is once again at the center of public attention—as ICE protests fill the streets of L.A. Her bold, unflinching questions, layered like the American flag, continue to challenge our understanding of justice, freedom, and power.
