Protestors have plastered a photo of a weeping Gazan mother over a Picasso painting at the National Gallery.
Two activists for Youth Demand entered the gallery at around mid-day on Wednesday before plastering the photo over the protective glass covering Picasso’s 1901 painting Motherhood .They then proceeded to pour red paint on the floor below the painting.One of the protestors, NHS worker Jai Halai, said: “I’m taking action with Youth Demand because at this point it’s been over one year of seeing my colleagues in the healthcare field decimated.
It can’t be all carrots and no sticks: a two-way arms embargo is the least Britain can do to stop displacement, destruction and death!” This comes just days after Just Stop Oil protestors doused a Van Gogh painting with soup at the National Gallery.
