The National Portrait Gallery (NPG) in London has removed a video installation by British artist Helen Cammock after a row erupted over its characterisation of Winston Churchill’s role in the 1943 Bengal famine.
The NPG had commissioned the artwork, titled "Persistence," as part of a project involving nine artists who offered a reflexive approach on portraiture. Cammock’s output was first exhibited in the London museum in September 2025 and was set to remain on display until August 2026.
