“He Will Not Divide Us”: Shia LaBeouf Launches Four-Year Anti-Trump Protest
Shia LaBeouf has launched another live-stream, this time in the form of a Donald Trump protest. LaBeouf has set the live-stream up with Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner who he has worked with on projects in the past.
The live-stream has been set up outside of the Museum of the Moving Image in New York and began 20 January – the day of Trump’s inauguration.
The public can join in by repeating the phrase “He Will Not Divide Us” into the camera for as long as they wish. The live-stream will air continuously 24/7 for the next four years or the length Trump’s presidency.
The project declares:
“The mantra ‘he will not divide us’ acts as a show of resistance or insistence, opposition or optimism, guided by the spirit of each individual participant and the community.”
Jaden Smith joined LaBeouf at 9am local time when the protest first started.
