Royal Academicians Jock McFadyen, Rana Begum, Vanessa Jackson, Tim Shaw, David Nash, Helen Sear, David Mach and Goshka Macuga are among hundreds of arts professionals condemning the Royal Academy of Arts’ anti-Palestinian censorship after it removed two artworks from its Young Artists’ Summer Show.
In an open letter published today by Artists for Palestine UK, the signatories, including more than 100 Jewish creatives, decry as “shameful” the Royal Academy’s removal of a photograph of a protestor holding a placard that reads, “Jews Say Stop Genocide on Palestinians. Not In Our Name”.
Visual artists Nan Goldin, Rosalind Nashashibi, Adam Broomberg, curator David Campany, and writers Natasha Walter, Kamila Shamsie, Sabrina Mahfouz, Fatima Bhutto and Gillian Slovo are among those saying that The Royal Academy has “stigmatis[ed] the work of the young artists” and has “colluded with the erasure of Jewish contribution to solidarity with Palestinians.”
The 750+ artists and public figures, including fashion designer Bella Freud, directors Mike Leigh, Peter Kosminsky, Asif Kapadia and Farah Nabulsi, musicians Brian Eno, Ana Tijoux and Robert Wyatt, photographer Shahidul Alam and actors Juliet Stevenson, Alia Shawkat and Adam Bakri are joined by several Jewish organisations including the Jewish Socialists’ Group. They add:
“Far from protecting Jews, the RA is lending support to a racist, anti-Palestinian campaign that aims to silence expressions of support for Palestinian people.”
A spokesperson for Artists for Palestine UK commented:
“By failing to stand up to deplorable bullying and ludicrous accusations against young artists, the Royal Academy is in breach of its ethical responsibilities and duty of care. This needs urgent repair.”
Also today, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign UK (PSC) launched a new e-action which has been sent to its 300,000 supporters, asking them to send a letter via email to the Chief Executive of the Royal Academy. The PSC letter states that “in silencing solidarity for Palestine, the Royal Academy is complicit in shielding the state of Israel from accountability for its actions” and added that it should not “be regarded as inherently illegitimate for artists to draw comparisons between one genocide and others in history.”
PSC tells the Royal Academy:
“Your decision to remove these artworks violates your duty to uphold freedom of expression, and contributes to the dehumanisation of Palestinian people and the erasure of the facts of their history.”
You can read the letter from artists below.
The open letter in full:
“We artists and human rights defenders, many of us Jewish, condemn the shameful decision of the Royal Academy of Arts to censor artworks by young artists that respond to Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Many of us have joined the Jewish Bloc at marches in London that have called for a ceasefire in Gaza. By censoring a photograph of a protestor with a placard reading, “Jews Say Stop Genocide on Palestinians. Not In Our Name”, the Royal Academy has colluded with the erasure of Jewish contribution to solidarity with Palestinians.
Far from protecting Jews, the RA is lending support to a racist, anti-Palestinian campaign that aims to silence expressions of support for Palestinian people.
British arts institutions have the ethical, historical and legal duty to uphold freedom of expression and anti-discrimination. Those that fail to meet these obligations have, rightly, faced peaceful grassroots measures including artist-led boycotts in order to defend the democratic functioning of our cultural spaces.
The Royal Academy must explain the measures it will take to repair the harm it has done by stigmatising the work of the young artists it removed from the Young Artists Summer Show and by dehumanising Palestinians.
The International Court of Justice has recognised the plausible risk of genocide in Gaza and condemned Israel’s underlying system of apartheid and occupation. We call on the Royal Academy and all arts institutions to end all complicity in Israel’s genocide and apartheid, including by ending their silencing of artists who speak out against it.”
