This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Royal Ontario Museum has reversed its decision to change a travelling art exhibit about cultural and natural responses to life and death after protests that included an 18-hour sit-in by the women who created its Palestinian-Muslim portion.
Two days before it was supposed to open, ROM officials told the four Palestinian American women about changes they wanted to make, according to artists Sameerah Hosam Ahmad and Malak Kanan.
A ROM spokesperson said in a statement the proposed changes were in light of "the current heightened sensitivities around the Israel-Hamas conflict and the pain and suffering of all involved communities."
At a preview for ROM members on Oct. 27, Ahmad says a painting depicting Islamic burial traditions had been taken down and an installation of personal items that showcase mourning rituals had been displayed without any text to explain it.
The museum closed the exhibit temporarily and later agreed to restore the displays to their original version.� It reopens Friday with "some additional contextual labels and authorship credits."
The second display that was altered involves personal items from Palestinian families, including utensils that Ahmad's father in Chicago uses to cook funeral meals whenever someone from his ancestral home village of Turmus Ayya dies or is killed.
