Festival of Gratitude _ Cakes

Artist Walid Raad presents a series of (occasionally, but rarely) lovingly crafted birthday cakes for some of the world's most toxic and/or bigger-than-life leaders: global dictators, strongmen and strongwomen, kings and queens, princes and princesses, emirs, sheikhs and sheikhas, sultans, shahs, emperors and empresses, popes, ayatollahs, presidents, prime ministers, CEOs, and GOATs. Only twenty cakes were created in the first batch. All are unique. Festival of Gratitude was commissioned by Artwrld. The artist's entire proceeds are donated to not for profits, including Arteeast.
