harry clarke geneva window wolfsonian miami

The Wolfsonian–Florida International University in Miami Beach is exhibiting "Harry Clarke and the Geneva Window," showcasing a luminous stained glass window created by Irish artist Harry Clarke (1891–1931) for the League of Nations building in Geneva. Commissioned by the Irish Free State in 1926, the window was ultimately rejected by the Irish government due to its controversial content, including depictions of drunkenness, nudity, and Protestant writers. The exhibition explores the window's scandalous history, Clarke's life cut short by tuberculosis at age 41, and the broader context of Irish nationalism and the Celtic Revival.

ceo canadian national museum departs

Marie Chapman, CEO of the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, stepped down on Thursday after a special commissioner's investigation found she had mistreated staff throughout her decade-long tenure. The report, released by the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner, accused Chapman of serious code of conduct breaches, including using slurs and misogynistic language—such as referring to the senior leadership team as "sluts"—ranking female employees by age, and fostering a culture of fear that left some staff contemplating self-harm. Chapman was appointed under former Prime Minister Stephen Harper and reappointed by the Trudeau government in 2016 and 2021; her contract expired in October but she had been granted a 90-day transitional term.
