Sheeran’s Lyrics and Louder Critiques

Artistic satire targets Ed Sheeran’s musical and political missteps, from Palestine to tiny hot dogs.

Ed Sheeran is facing a storm of artistic satire, with cartoonists and illustrators lampooning his pro-Palestine stance and the bizarre choices at the Affordable Art Fair. Political cartoonist Benjamin Slyngstad even draws Sheeran in love with a missile, a humorous jab at the pop star's supposed 'flow.'


Artists are not only critiquing Sheeran's social stances, but also mocking his lyrics and the odd selections at recent events. Staff Writer Anna Lee highlights some of the best artworks targeting Sheeran's perceived cowardice and mockable songlines.


The British Museum has reversed its photography policy for the Bayeux Tapestry exhibit, prohibiting visitors from taking pictures, while ChaShaMa, an artist support organization, is losing half of its space in the Brooklyn Army Terminal. Hungary's controversial House of Terror Museum has temporarily closed for a content review by the new government. The House of Representatives has also voted to hold financier and MoMA board member Leon Black in contempt for his refusal to comply with subpoenas related to Jeffrey Epstein investigations.


The Chilean artist Johanna Unzueta’s drawings on hand-dyed paper and homespun fabrics are reviewed by Editor-in-Chief Hakim Bishara, who finds them like 'natural pills against language.' The British Museum's policy change and ChaShaMa's loss of space are just a few highlights of this week's cultural news.
