Certain Restrictions Do Apply

Mazloomi’s work explores contemporary social and political themes. From the artist: “Xenophobia and racism are alive and well when we examine immigration reform in the United States… It's an uncomfortable truth: The policy discussion surrounding who deserves to be let into our country is pervasively exclusive… Immigration policy is never “neutral,” regardless of the country.

Yes, certain restrictions do apply when considering who can enter our country; however, that consideration is not always applied fairly. Certain Restrictions Do Apply honors the many Haitian immigrants who have drowned seeking the freedom to live in the United States.”
