Royal Academy removes artist鈥檚 work from its gift shop

Royal Academy stops selling textile artist Jess de Wahls art in their shop

If you go on to the Royal Academy's website you will no longer find work by the textile artist Jess de Wahls in the shop - in fact you will find no mention of her.

It was last week that the Academy posted on their Instagram stories that her work would no longer be stocked because of her 'transphobic views' - they had contacted her just before this announcement and said they had had complaints about her.

Mishal Husain spoke to Katy Jon-Went, a transgender thinker and writer and first to the artist Jess de Wahls.
