Overview
- Delta House Gallery in London canceled Matthew Collings’s Drawings Against Genocide after UK Lawyers for Israel challenged the planned show.
- Pineapple Corporation chair Tom Berglund said the event was arranged without consulting the owners of the Riverside Road studios.
- UKLFI said its letter warned the venue that the material could breach the UK Public Order Act 1986 and expose it to legal and reputational risk.
- Media coverage cited by ARTnews included a Telegraph review calling the earlier Margate works “dripping with Jew-hate” and a Jerusalem Post account describing drawings such as one tied to businessman Patrick Drahi.
- Collings defended the drawings on Instagram as satire aimed at Zionism rather than Jewishness, while the London run slated for May 16–24 was scrapped.
