When Jane Lombard started her career in the art world in the 1990s, she was part of a delegation that traveled to Poland to help Eastern European artists show their work in the United States just before the Cold War ended.
Three decades later, Lombard sat at her desk at her gallery in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood, discussing how she would join hundreds of thousands of Americans to protest against the nation’s creeping authoritarianism at the No Kings Day parade this coming Saturday, October 18.
“We don’t have those issues here, but they’re coming. Look at Chicago, they’re fighting back,” she told Hyperallergic, referring to President Trump’s attempts to deploy the national guard in Illinois.
