Actor Shia LeBeouf has announced that he plans to relaunch his anti-Trump art project, a week after New York's Museum of the Moving Image brought its shutters down.

The 30-year-old star said the "He Will Not Divide Us" campaign is all set to return, reported ET Online.

"From the outset, the museum failed to address our concerns about the misleading framing of our piece as a political rally, rather than as a participatory performance artwork resisting the normalisation of division," read a collective statement by LeBeouf and other collaborators Nastja Sade Ronkko and Luke Turner.

The actor disclosed the project will continue as of February 18, while relocating to the El Rey Theater in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
 

The Museum announced the termination of the programme after it faced disruptive protests since its opening.

Later, LeBeouf's actress wife Mia Goth had come out in his support, saying she was proud of him.

The "Transformers" star was also arrested after allegedly attacking a 25-year-old male at a protest on January 25.
