Artists Boycott of Guggenheim Abu Dhabi

Sponsor

We are a coalition of international artists working to ensure that migrant worker rights are protected during the construction and maintenance of the Guggenheim's new branch museum on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Artists should not be asked to exhibit their work in buildings built on the backs of exploited workers. Those working with bricks and mortar deserve the same kind of respect as those working with cameras and brushes.
