Activists Disrupt National Gallery to Highlight Gaza Crisis

This morning, two activists targeted Pablo Picasso’s 1901 painting Motherhood (La Maternité) at the National Gallery in London, covering the artwork’s protective glass with a photograph of a crying Palestinian mother and child. The action was intended to draw attention to the dangers faced by families in Gaza.

Jai Halai, a 23-year-old NHS employee, and Monday-Malachi Rosenfeld, a 21-year-old student, poured red paint on the gallery floor following the placement of the image before being arrested. In a video shared on the Youth Demand X page, Rosenfeld addressed a crowd, stating, “All of your taxes are being used to kill entire families in Gaza. They say this is in the Jewish name, but this has nothing to do with us.”
