So proud to have worked with the SWA and the Parliamentary Art Collection on making this acquisition happen!

[Ben Bloch @realBenBloch]

A new portrait of Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been unveiled.

It shows her preparing to deliver her first budget in October 2024 as the first female chancellor of the exchequer in the over 900 years the role has existed.

It is an oil painting by artist Sally Ward, and the Commons says she approached it "both a portrait and a history painting, showing an important moment in British political and parliamentary history".

Reeves says she is "deeply honoured" that it will be acquired by the Parliamentary Art Collection, and that she hopes it "serves as a reminder to every young woman and girl across the country that there should be no ceiling on their ambition".

It will be displayed in the Society of Women Artist’s summer exhibition in June, before its permanent hang in parliament's Portcullis House.

A recent list of young "art disruptors" in London, which includes the heirs to several multi-million pound fortunes and contains advice such as "go for broke", underlines why we desperately need to talk about class and the art world, writes @annyleshaw https://t.co/oJCn3hSXgD

Khadija Saye died on 14 June 2017 in the fire at Grenfell Tower, aged 24. Her work recognises the rituals that we turn to for solace in life’s challenging moments. She is deeply missed. 🖤

A series of Saye's photographs will be on display inside #AWorldInCommon at Tate Modern.

A wonderful internet pal Eden sadly passed away while on holiday in Madrid. Her friends are trying to fundraise to bring her body back to the UK. If you had any money to spare that you could donate, it would mean the world, this is really shit news: https://t.co/zPvbEb8rm6

Sofia explained this so eloquently when we talked about AI and art last year. Questions like this can expose a real ignorance into the practice of artists who use AI.

[Sofia Crespo 🪸 @soficrespo91]

Sometimes I get tired of being asked if an AI is the author of an artwork. People make datasets, people design and code the algorithms, people train models, people inference from models, people make art with it and not the other way around. Responsibility needs to be human.

Outrageous scenes of cops arresting anti-monarchy protestors and stealing their placards

So we are not allowed to show public opposition to a bloke being crowned head of state for having been born into unimaginable wealth while ppl line up at food banks and schools fall apart

For May Day, would you like to hear how it went when Paul Robeson, the great American movie star, singer, and activist, met with British miners, and he sang Joe Hill?

Well, it went like this ...

Reports flooding in that regime in Iran are now gassing women-only dorms at universities. Girls are dropping like flies. This is systematic, industrial-scale targeting of women as revenge for #WomanLifeFreedom movement. @BBCNews @Channel4News @mrjamesob this needs to be covered.

We are tweeting from the hotel that’s the subject of a far right protest in Knowsley, Liverpool.

We are trapped in the car park, surrounded by hundreds of far-right protestors who have broken through police cordons.
