Brighton & Hove City Council has cancelled an anti-racist art exhibition showing a reimagined Union Jack over concerns it could offend minority communities.
The artwork, created by artist Gil Mualem-Doron, incorporates designs from diverse groups and has been displayed at public venues for over a decade.
Council leader Bella Sankey commented: ‘As council buildings, our libraries need to remain neutral spaces and a safe space for all our customers.
‘Our libraries have been recognised as Libraries of Sanctuary, something we are very proud of, and keen to maintain.’
