Join ICP to celebrate the launch of No Kings, a major new book by photographer Susan Meiselas with a conversation featuring Meiselas, book designer Yo Cuomo, and text contributors Laura Wexler and Eduardo Cadava.This program is being offered both in person at ICP, located on NYC's Lower East Side, and online. Tickets to attend the conversation in person are free and do not include access to ICP’s galleries. About the BookA major new book by acclaimed photographer Susan Meiselas offers a unique intersection of documentary photography, contemporary politics, graphic culture and social history. A timely visual record of American protest during Trump’s second presidency, up to the 2026 midterm elections, capturing the humor, anger, creativity and political concerns of ordinary Americans.From just before the second Trump inauguration, and onward towards the mid-term elections, photographer Susan Meiselas recorded the multi-colored, hand-drawn signs of political fun and fury that American citizens made and carried to the demonstrations she attended in NYC and Washington, D.C. Accompanied by an enriching essay by Eduardo Cadava, a scroll of Executive Orders and the counterpoint of a fragmentary found history of contemporary newspaper headlines by Laura Wexler, NO KINGS: Signs of the Times is a mirror of how ordinary people were—and are—determined to make their voices heard.
