UK artist defends Gaza-themed exhibition amid anti-Semitism allegations

Saturday, 16 May 2026, 06:07 · 1 min read

British artist Matthew Collings has spoken out after his exhibition "Drawings Against Genocide" — depicting what he describes as Israeli violence against Palestinians — was cancelled in London following protests and public outrage. Collings denies that the show was anti-Semitic, rejecting characterisations that led to its closure. The cancellation highlights the intensifying debate in the UK over the boundaries between political art and hate speech in the context of the ongoing Gaza conflict.
