French artist's Pyramids exhibition ban link to Israel
There have been calls to prevent French artist Bernard Vinet from attending the "Eternity is Now" exhibition at the Pyramids, due to his relationship with Israel and his supportive stance toward it. He was awarded the title of Artist of the Year in Israel in 2022 and engages with an Israeli gallery. The "Art D’Égypte" organization responded by issuing a statement defending their decision to review his participation, confirming that they would announce their final stance after verifying the information. The Egyptian Syndicate of Plastic Artists also issued a statement emphasizing the importance of upholding cultural and national responsibility. They stressed that the archaeological site of the pyramid must be respected and should not be used as a cover for decisions that disregard national values. The syndicate called for a review of the regulations governing artistic events held at archaeological sites and expressed support for Egyptian artists who may oppose such activities. Ultimately, the organization announced the suspension of the artist's participation, in support of the Egyptian position, while reaffirming their commitment to their principles and national values.
