On February 15th, a group of eight artists whose pieces were featured in a Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) exhibition protested the organizations attempt to silence political conversation on Palestine by altering their own exhibited works, adding pro-Palestine messages to their pieces. Since the protest, the YBCA gallery has remained closed. Eight artists participated in the protest, and we have two of them joining us in conversation. Leila Weefur is an artist, writer, and independent curator based in Oakland, and Sholeh Asgary is an Iranian-born interdisciplinary sound artist.
