London gallery cancels controversial art show over antisemitic imagery

An exhibition titled 'Drawings Against Genocide' by British artist Matthew Collings, scheduled to open at Delta House Gallery in Wandsworth, London, has been cancelled after complaints from UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) about antisemitic content. The show, planned for May 2026, included graphic drawings depicting Jews with horns, devouring babies, and denying Hamas's October 7 attacks, and had previously sparked outrage at a Margate gallery. Gallery owners Pineapple Corporation and Delta House Studios Ltd confirmed the cancellation after UKLFI warned of legal risks under the Public Order Act 1986.

Antisemitic art may upset British Jews, but is it illegal? - analysis

British artist and critic Matthew Collings has sparked intense legal and ethical debate with his exhibition "Drawings Against Genocide" at Joseph Wales Studios in Margate. The show features graphic imagery, including depictions of Jewish figures consuming infants and denials of sexual violence committed on October 7, 2023. Despite calls from Israeli officials and Jewish community members for legal intervention, Kent Police have stated that no criminal offenses were identified, as the work is currently classified as political criticism rather than a direct incitement of racial hatred.
