Drama at the Barbican is showing no signs of relenting. Protesters occupied the foyer of the art centre with a “guerilla festival of Palestinian art and culture” on Saturday as an escalating censorship row between artists, lenders and the centre’s bosses drags on.
Culture Workers Against Genocide (CWAG) staged the 'Let Us Speak' festival in retaliation to the Barbican’s decision to cancel a talk by prominent author Pankaj Mishra last month called 'The Shoah After Gaza'. A flurry of lenders and artists have also removed their works from the Barbican’s current Unravel exhibition in protest.
