Isabel Vasseur - queen of public art in the 1980s and 90s - died last week.
👑
She was incredible and paved the way for much of today’s commissioning practices.
👑
I worked with her after I graduated in the early 90s. Generous, hilarious, terrifying and brilliant.

[Young Poets Network @youngpoetsnet]

2020 has revealed both how much we all need nature, and how many people have limited access to it. We're working with @PeoplNeedNature & @OdubanjoGboyega to ask young poets to write nature poems that engage with the human, that sing of trees and factories: https://t.co/Pp1Bgofowj

“Both abolition and decolonisation… are all too frequently regarded as deriving chiefly from the campaigning consciences of white British reformers.”

It seems that @Tate @TateExchange is creating a hostile environment for artists, in this case a black woman artist. Any comment @Tate? @TateExchange ?
