Image of Arab mother and child replaces Picasso’s ‘ Motherhood’ decoration
Two members of the British civil opposition party Youth Need were detained after staging a demonstration at the National Gallery in London, where they pasted a picture of a mother and child from Gaza over Pablo Picasso’s decoration” Motherhood” to rally UK hands sales to Israel.
The marchers, identified as 23-year-old NHS employee Jai Halai and 21-year-old Politics and International Relations scholar Monday-Malachi Rosenfeld, carried out the opposition on October 9. They placed the pictures, taken by Israeli journalist Ali Jadallah at Al-Shifa Hospital, over Picasso’s 1901 artwork, and poured red ink onto the museum floor. Security immediately detained the set, and the drawings, protected by glasses, was undamaged.
Our state is arming Israel to carry out a genocide against Palestinians and killing without restraint in Lebanon, a Youth Need spokesperson stated in a statement. It cannot be all vegetables and no pieces: a two-way hands restriction is the least Britain can do to prevent displacement, death and death”.
In a observed video, Halai claimed that because of the destruction that healthcare workers in conflict zones are in, she was forced to take action. ” It’s been over one month of seeing my colleagues in the medical field decimated…by weapons, by bullets and by having to work, with no medical equipment, on malnourished children. We need a two-way arms embargo on Israel today”, she said, as quoted by the Independent.
Rosenfeld, who is Hebrew, said his determination was to rally what he described as a murder in Gaza. ” I want the world to know this is n’t in the Jewish name and I want to see a free Palestine”, he said. When Keir Starmer says that Britain supports Israel, he is mistaken. We know pretty well that this is a murder, no’ self-defence’, and we, as the people of Britain, say sufficiently is enough”.
The opposition follows a high-profile 2022 event at the gallery, when Only Cease Oil activists poured sauce over Van Gogh’s ‘ Sunflowers’. This most recent presentation comes as tensions rise, with the UK just halting some arms export permits to Israel over concerns about breaches of international law.
