The Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (MAC) has suspended an exhibition of work by  Jon Rafman , a high-profile artist from Montreal whose work appeared in last year’s Venice Biennale.

It comes after attempts by the Tate to express support for Black Lives Matter on social media sparked a backlash, with critics circulating a selfie by the Tate’s controversial benefactor,  Anthony  d’Offay , in which he is holding a golliwog.
