Protesters Demand That ICA Boston Cancel Dana Schutz Show Because Of ‘Open Casket’ (Which Is Not In The Show)

Evidently believing that Schutz hasn’t been punished enough for having shown her painting of the murdered Emmett Till at the Whitney Biennial, a group of activists wrote in an open letter, “The institution will be participating in condoning the coopting of Black pain and showing the art world and beyond that people can co-opt sacred imagery rooted in oppression and face little consequence … Please pull the show. This is not about censorship. This is about institutional accountability.”
