Painter Amy Sherald has canceled her upcoming solo exhibition, titled “American Sublime,” at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery after the museum considered removing her painting of a Black transgender Statue of Liberty. The show was slated to open in September.⁠
⁠
“I entered into this collaboration in good faith, believing that the institution shared a commitment to presenting work that reflects the full, complex truth of American life,” the artist wrote to Lonnie G. Bunch III, the secretary of the Smithsonian, who runs the Portrait Gallery. “Unfortunately, it has become clear that the conditions no longer support the integrity of the work as conceived.’’⁠

It’s trans day of visibility.

Trans friends: We are in the deep. You are not required to do anything, including be visible. So, stay visible, if you choose.

More than visibility, stay alive.

The movement needs you loving and living, more than it needs you visible.

Stay safe, keep fighting.
