A few weeks ago, we shared with you an exceptional portrait by a young high school student who wanted to express his support for Kareem via art. You can view the artwork and the author’s description here.

Kenny has written us back with an update:

At the local art-show where “Kareem” was exhibited lots of people truly enjoyed it and asked me about Kareem’s story. Yet, there also were people who felt uncomfortable with the image at the show. I don’t know exactly why. None of these people have spoken to me. To make it short: Kareem was later hung aside from the “eye-catcher wall” due to the “Provocation” felt.

Currently, Kenny’s taking part in a competition where he’s applying his portrait of Kareem. Please vote for this artwork here! It will significantly help increase awareness and support for Kareem.
