The recently maligned National Portrait Gallery was the setting Thursday night for a protest over its controversial removal of a video piece, A Fire in My Belly by artist David Wojnarowicz, from its GLBT-focused exhibits. TBD reports that a crowd of about 100 people showed up, walking from the Transformer Gallery, which started displaying the 4-minute segment in question the day before, near Logan Circle to the front steps of the National Portrait Gallery on 8th and F Streets where the film was projected onto its northside walls by performance artist Adrian Parsons. From the NPG, they moved on to the steps of the Capitol Building, all the while protesting with “mouths tied.” In addition to other local media outlets, several of our Flickr photographers were on hand and in the crowd to document the demonstration.
