An Artist In Residence At The Tate Has Resigned After Remarks From The Director About Sexual Harassment

Liv Wyntner was one of four teaching artists-in-residence at the Tate for 2017-2018, but when Tate director Maria Banshaw made what seemed to many dismissive statements about harassment and abuse survivors, she wrote in an open letter, “I cannot describe to you the personal shame I feel as a survivor of domestic violence, to work for someone who could think so little of me whilst simultaneously profiting off of my ‘survivorness’ and the work I dare to make about it.”
