Protesters gathered outside the Museum of Modern Art in New York on October 6 to demand the removal of billionaire Leon Black from the museum's board of directors, citing his long-standing relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Black, who chaired MoMA's board from 2018 until stepping down in 2021, is currently facing a civil lawsuit accusing him of raping a teenage girl inside Epstein's New York home in 2002. The demonstration was staged with theatrical force. The Institute for Primary Facts parked its Bookmobile outside the museum — a food truck converted into a mobile library and exhibition containing all 3,437 bound volumes of the released Epstein files. Organisers noted that a search of Black's name across the documents returns 8,512 results, including references to graphic sexual abuse allegations. The assembly brought together Epstein survivors with members of We Are UltraViolet and the research initiative Time & Memory Project. Nicole Regalado, the campaigns vice president at We Are UltraViolet, told Hyperallergic that by keeping Black on its board, the museum was helping to sanitize his reputation, whether intentionally or not. The protest continues years of pressure on cultural institutions to reckon with donors whose wealth is entangled with Epstein. Black stepped down as MoMA chairman in 2021 amid the fallout from his association with the financier, but his continued presence on the board has kept the controversy alive — and the arrival of a truckload of bound Epstein files outside the museum's doors ensured it stayed in public view.
