[Africa Is a Country @africasacountry]

The Granta controversy surrounding a Commonwealth Prize-winning story tells us less about AI than about the enduring metropolitan expectation that writing from the South should sound opaque, excessive, and primitive. https://t.co/qn169CjfLM

[Pierre de Vos ⚖️ @pierredevos]

Good: South African artist Gabrielle Goliath’s project, Elegy, will be shown for three months from 4 May as a video installation at the Chiesa di Sant’Antonin church, a venue in the vicinity of the main site that is not part of the Biennale. https://t.co/ngz4gehjqc

@pedvr @HenriettaRI Wonderful news. Just thought about you today x

[CA Davids @ca_davids]

“Art in the service of social cohesion is propaganda…” ah, the key metric used to assess South African artists’ applications for public funding.

No comment necessary: "I cannot be party to silencing writers so, with a heavy heart, I am resigning from my role as the director of the AWW.... Friends and colleagues in the arts, beware of the future. They are coming for you." Louise Adler https://t.co/cafaHPW3Nu

Oh, Sally Rooney ❤️

[The National @ScotNational]

BREAKING: Downing Street has warned Sally Rooney risks committing a terrorist offence if she funds Palestine Action

It comes after the author said she would continue to support the group financially

[CA Davids @ca_davids]

@BenjaminACronin And the arts sector again left with a burden.

“I lost my mother and my brother today.” I will never forget any of these stories.

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

A Palestinian boy from Gaza recounted losing his mother after Israeli forces opened fire at civilians waiting for food at a US-Israeli aid distribution point at al-Alam roundabout in Rafah.

@mahlephula Mackenzie’s disdain for Cuba, arts, literature, process…let me stop.
