Here in New York, hundreds of activists gathered outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art to demand the prestigious museum and its board members cut ties with companies that benefit from Israel’s assault on Gaza, and commit to helping “preserve Palestinian cultural heritage sites being destroyed by Israel.” Activists displayed a massive 30-by-50-foot quilt on the steps of the Met. Modeled after the AIDS Memorial Quilt, the Palestine quilt pieced together works by 64 global artists on the theme of “From oppression to liberation, free Palestine.”
