Looking for Trouble

University of Washington library removes art exhibit on Gaza

The art exhibit I wrote about on Wednesday that is, for the most part, about Gaza has been abruptly removed from the University of Washington Odegaard Undergraduate Library. The exhibit curator, Amineh Ayyad, wrote me in an email this afternoon: “Confirming that the UW library has taken down the entire exhibition… . I will be going to the meeting with officials at the library by myself at 4:30PM today… . I will work with the group on producing in writing a comprehensive list of their concerns and requests to put the exhibit back on display, and so I can share with you and other supporters/sponsors.”

For now, however, please disregard the previous post. There is nothing to see at the UW library. As soon as the exhibit is back up, I will post about it here. Meanwhile, if anyone has any questions or concerns, it probably would be helpful to direct them to the library. The administration phone number is 206-685-3752. The general information number is 206-543-2990.
