Almost missed this one: Artist Emilia Cilento has also been forced to remove online artwork using the phrase ‘from the river to the sea’ after being contacted by QLD police.
You may have noticed several artworks I made in solidarity with Palestine using a certain phrase have been removed from my Instagram and website.

I was contacted by Queensland police last week along with the excellent [Nordacious] and I'm assuming, others.

Quoting James, as he has said it better than I ever could: "There is something genuinely destabilising about being told your art is illegal. That the things you've illustrated -- out of empathy, out of grief, out of a deep and sincere desire to see justice for people who have been crushed by systems far more powerful than themselves could theoretically land you in prison."

I am deeply disappointed in our government's decision to silence peaceful protest and freedom of expression.

I have adjusted my poster, it no longer includes the phrase in question but it gets the message across just fine. It is available as a free download on my website.
