DUBAI: French-Algerian artist Zineb Sedira, who was initially selected to stand as the representative of France at the 2021 Venice Biennale, confirmed she will not 'renounce' the nomination after she was criticized for supporting Palestine.
Sedira has been accused on social media of being an activist for the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, a campaign that demands the boycott of Israel, withdrawal from the occupied territories and the removal of the West Bank separation wall.
