Suicide Bomber Barbie is a work of art produced by Simon Tyszko and displayed in the bookshop of the ICA on The Mall in 2002. The piece is described by the artist as a deliberate attempt to involve art in current affairs. "I was watching Newsnight,' Tyszko told The Observer "And I just got really angry. Artists don't seem to want to comment on current events. Meanwhile, look at what is happening out there. Political discussion seems to be dead in this country. So I wanted to reflect some of that."
