More than 50 artists and cultural figures, many of them based in Israel, have signed a letter urging the American artist Judy Chicago and the founding member of Pussy Riot, Nadya Tolakonnikova, to cancel an exhibition of their work at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The show, which opened last week, features a collaborative digital quilt which responds to the titular question: what if women ruled the world? According to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art’s website, What if women ruled the world? The spokesperson continued: “[The exhibition] should not be read as an endorsement of any political position by the artist or contributors. However, we at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art reject the notion that cancelling exhibitions serves as a meaningful response to the destruction around us.
