The former director faced backlash after staging a show that supported Palestine:
“The unfolding of events in response to the statement of solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle exhibited by Forensic Architecture during their exhibition ‘Cloud Studies’ at the Whitworth in 2021 is a direct attack on political freedom and artistic expression,” the missive read.
“We believe there is neither space for such actions nor possible engagement with the university and its platforms, especially when public expression is limited, and evidence for human rights violations is obscured.”The artists who signed the letter, including former Turner prize winners Helen Cammock, Oscar Murillo, and Tai Shani, are among the 48 participating in British Art Show 9 , a survey of “” from artists throughout the U.K.
The letter’s signatories have said they will pull their work from the Manchester show “unless meaningful reparative measures are taken. “BAS 9 exhibition is structured around the curatorial framework of healing, care and reparative history; tactics of togetherness and imagining new futures, which is at odds with recent events,” they wrote. “Our deep commitment to these themes under fear of censorship makes it impossible to continue our engagement with the University of Manchester given the current position of the institution.”
All members of FA are shocked & enraged at this blatant punishment and vengeful attempt to suppress solidarity with Palestinians who continue to face violent human rights abuses and apartheid by Israel in Palestine and beyond
