We uphold the right of all to experience diverse visions and challenging views that may, at times, offend.

We recognise the privilege of living in a country where creating, exhibiting and experiencing such work is protected by fundamental human rights enshrined in UK law.

Should controversies arise as a result, we welcome public discussion and debate. We believe such discussion is integral to the experience of the art.

But consistent with our fundamental commitment to freedom of expression, we do not censor works, or self-censor, in response to political or ideological pressure.
