This small (measuring only 14" x 17.5") photo-based digital print was the focus of a huge debate in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2001. Since then, America Needs Fatima (ANF) has stalked this image and harrassed the museums and universities where it has been exhibited. Most recently, ANF organized a protest at the Oakland Museum and incited conservative Catholics in Cork County, Ireland to protest the exhibition of Our Lady at the University College Cork.
