Stop the BP Portrait exhibition at Ulster Museum

The Ulster Museum should withdraw from holding The National Gallery's Portrait exhibition while it is sponsored by BP.
Why is this important?
The National Gallery's Portrait exhibition is due to take place in April in the Ulster Museum sponsored by BP - one of the world's biggest polluters.
Climate change is the biggest threat we face. But rather than acting on it, BP is trying to make clean up it's image by sponsoring art exhibitions here in Belfast, while it continues to make huge profits.
BP is one of the companies most responsible for the climate crisis. It is the 11th biggest corporate source of greenhouse emissions in history.
Late last year The Scottish National Portrait Gallery announced it will no longer stage the exhibition due to BP's involvement. There is no reason why the Ulster Museum can't do the same.
