AN ART exhibition at a Polish state gallery has been accused of giving a platform to racist messages under the guise of celebrating free speech.

The show, which opened today, features the works of right-wing artists in what organisers described as a challenge to political correctness and “cancel culture” on the left.

Political Art is the second exhibition at the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art under director Piotr Bernatowicz, who was appointed by Poland’s conservative ruling party in 2019.
