The British council has been accused of censorship in the Bahamas after they distanced themselves from an art catalogue deemed too political.
The National Art Gallery of the Bahamas said the council caused distress and disappointment after removing their logo and text on a project that reflected on Britain’s involvement with the Caribbean slave trade.
Officials in London were concerned about a section of an essay by Prof. Ian Bethell-Bennett about local concerns on chinese influence in the Caribbean state with anxiety over offending the Chinese government.
The gallery’s director, Amanda Coulson said a general feeling of being silenced and exploited is the consensus.
