Over 700 creatives condemn the Royal Academy of Arts’ removal of Gaza-related works
OVER 700 creatives and public figures accused the Royal Academy of Arts (RA) of anti-Palestinian censorship today after it removed two artworks from its Young Artists’ Summer Show.
One work, created by an 18-year-old artist, shows a photograph of a protester holding a placard reading “Jews say stop genocide on Palestinians: Not in Our Name.”
A drawing was submitted by a 16-year-old showing a swastika above a screaming woman wearing a headscarf.
