+|description_of_content=Aaron Bell's ''Stand Tall, Stand Loud'', is a sixteen-foot tall Cor-ten steel sculpture located in Riverside Park, New York City. The sculpture is composed of a stylized figure and a noose with a slash through it in place of a head. Bell's proposed design was selected by the Art Students League for Model to Monument (M2M), a public art program administered in partnership with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. Bell, who is African American, conceived the sculpture as a statement against hate and bigotry. The sculpture's base is inscribed with a quote from Martin Luther King, Jr.: "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter."
-|description_of_content=Vasily Slonov's exhibition "Welcome! Sochi 2014" presents various takes on Sochi 2014 olympic iconography in order to depict the social and labor injustices that have been associated with the coming olympic games.  Some of the more high profile pieces include a mock-poster depicting the olympic rings as a series of interlocking nooses and a rough-looking hatchet with the Sochi 2014 logo emblazoned on the axe head.
+|description_of_incident=A public art coordinator for city parks, Jennifer Lantzas, contacted Parks staff with concerns that "the image of the noose could be problematic for the borough." Parks spokesman Sam Biederman said that Bell's project was rejected because the site, near West 68th Street in Riverside Park, "is adjacent to an area regularly programmed with passive recreational activities such as yoga, Pilates and senior movement." Bell was told to remove the noose element or forfeit the opportunity to install the sculpture; the M2M committee did not honor his repeated requests to explain or defend his concept. The sculpture was initially installed on schedule but without a head element pending fabrication of a substitute design.
-|description_of_incident=The curator and director of the Perm Museum of Contemporary Art, Marat Guelman, was forced to leave his post after refusing to remove Slonov's "Welcome! Sochi 2014" exhibit. A week prior, Slonov's work was removed by Russian authorities from a cultural festival. Guelman, who organized the festival, responded by moving the exhibit into the Perm Museum. Guelman's twitter page suggests that he was fired from his post by Igor Gladnev, the Perm regional minister of culture.
+|description_of_result=The NYC Parks Department reversed its decision to censor the sculpture. The noose element was fabricated in Cor-ten steel. It was installed on July 20, 2016.

-Authorities cited to unauthorized use of the Sochi 2014 logo as the reason Vasily Slonov's work was targeted.

-|description_of_result=Marat Guelman was fired from his position as director and curator of the Perm Museum of Contemporary art, but Slonov's "Welcome! Sochi 2014" remains on display.
