The ZF recently became aware of an egregious exhibit within the British Museum’s current exhibition entitled “The World Exists To Be Put On A Postcard”, showcasing artists’ postcards from 1960 to now and has written to the British Museum, details of which can be read in the letter below. The item we have complained about is Postcard 19 by Gathered Images entitled “Ethnic Cleansing.”
Whilst we have linked to two articles in the letter below, we list them here for your ease of reference.

We will of course keep our readers appraised of the situation.
For those of you who would like to write in to the British Museum, please do feel free to mention the points we raise in your own words.
You can email your complaint to info@britishmuseum.org
