Racist Art Exhibition in London cancelled due to massive protests

LONDON, UK - A Barbican art exhibition which features black performers in chains was cancelled after protesters blockaded the entrance and branded it 'racist'.
Exhibit B, which takes inspiration from 19 century human zoos in Europe and created by Brett Bailey, was due to open at The Vaults on Tuesday night.
But Barbican staff made the decision to cancel the opening shows after demonstrators blockaded the entrance and road leading up to the venue in Leake Street last night.

The 'Human zoo' art exhibition featuring black actors in cages and chains had travelled all over Europe but had to be cancelled after protesters block entrance to Barbican.
