Vinyl redaction poems of Executive Order #13767 (Trump’s proposal for a border wall with Mexico) and #13769 (Trump’s initial iteration of the travel ban). By omitting the majority of the text in the original order, the redaction is both an assertion of resistance to the anti-immigration policies and xenophobic attitudes propagated by the current administration, and a cathartically hopeful exercise of a how re-imagined policy might actually strive to create equity.
