Nnena Kalu’s triumph for neurodivergent art has rattled a few cages. So let me put those carping critics right

The artist’s winning Turner prize entry has been hailed for its life and energy, but to some dissenting voices its challenge to the status quo is hard to stomach, says Guardian columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett

1503 vs 2025. Thank heaven we’re progressing in science, as we’re certainly not progressing in art…

If you need a good laugh this morning check out the #CanterburyStickers. Personally, I think #canterburycathedral should gather together all the people raging about the naff stickers, and let them rage in the nave, whilst David Tennant recites Holy Willie’s Prayer, guaranteed #TurnerPrize. Why Tennant? His dad was moderator of the General Assembly of The Church of Scotland, and this is all John Knox’ fault. 😂
