A screening of the film “The Salesman” by an Iranian director who has refused to attend the Academy Awards in protest over U.S. President Donald Trump’s travel ban will be held in London on Oscars night, London Mayor Sadiq Khan said Tuesday.

“I’m delighted to welcome people from across the capital and beyond to share in this celebration of London as an international hub of creativity and as a beacon of diversity,” Khan said in a statement on his website. The outdoor screening will take place in Trafalgar Square on February 26, the same night as the Oscars in Los Angeles.

Asghar Farhadi, whose film is nominated in the best foreign language movie category, last month said he would not attend the Oscars even if he were granted an exception to Trump’s ban on travel from seven majority-Muslim countries, including Iran.

“The gathering of the audience around ‘The Salesman’ in this famous London square is a symbol of unity against the division and separation of people,” Farhadi said Tuesday.
