Brutalist home of England's first National Black Art Convention saved from demolition

The University of Wolverhampton’s School of Art building, an eight-story Brutalist landmark completed in 1969, has been granted Grade II listed status by the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport, saving it from demolition. The building hosted the first National Black Art Convention in 1982, a pivotal event in the British Black arts movement, and is closely tied to the Blk Art Group, whose founding members include Keith Piper, Marlene Smith, and Claudette Johnson. The listing follows a campaign against the university's redevelopment plans, supported by a petition with over 6,600 signatures.

aclj watertown school keith haring 2723444

A school district in Watertown, New York, is facing potential legal action from the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), a conservative Christian legal organization, after a middle school art teacher assigned students to visit the Keith Haring Foundation website and interpret two of the artist's works from the 1980s. Parents complained at a school board meeting that the assignment exposed 11- and 12-year-olds to sexually explicit content. The ACLJ sent a letter to Superintendent Larry Schmiegel on November 21, demanding a reprimand for the teacher, parental consent forms for future sensitive content, and counseling for affected students, threatening litigation if the district did not respond by December 1. The teacher resigned in November but was rehired as an English teacher.
