"Forest Tunes" Exhibition

Local campaigners are dismayed by the actions of the Centre for Contemporary Art and the Natural World (CCANW) at Haldon Forest near Exeter.

At a time when Israel is being cited for war crimes in Gaza, whilst Israel continues its crippling illegal blockade of Gaza and its illegal Occupation of the West Bank, the centre have decided to host an exhibition part funded by the Israeli government.

Despite calls locally for the funding to be returned and for the Israeli artist and the centre to make statements distancing themselves from the policies of the Israeli government, the centre and artist have so far refused.
