In the French city of Roubaix, a mural by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw has provoked reactions as far afield as the United States and across social media. The artwork depicts the Statue of Liberty covering her eyes, conveying the artist’s sentiments regarding US President Donald Trump’s immigration and deportation policies.
Amsterdam-based street artist Judith de Leeuw described her giant work in the northern French town of Roubaix, which has a large immigrant community, as "a quiet reminder of what freedom should be."
