Artist whose work addresses art world access is not in Basel—because his visa was denied

Zimbabwean artist Richard Mudariki, creator of the Art World Passport project, was denied a visa by the Swiss embassy in Pretoria to attend the Africa Basel art fair in Switzerland. The project, which sells physical booklets at art events for attendees to document their experiences, symbolically addresses barriers faced by artists from the global South in accessing Western institutions. Mudariki had planned to debut the project in Europe at Africa Basel but was forced to appear via video link after the visa rejection, citing unreliable documentation for his stay.

Malak Mattar, a 25-year-old self-taught Gazan artist, has become the first Palestinian to receive a solo exhibition at London's Central Saint Martins (CSM).

Study highlights link between cultural engagement and workforce levels

A new study from the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (Creative PEC) reveals a strong correlation between the number of people working in arts, culture, and heritage occupations in English local authorities and the rates of public participation in cultural activities. Analyzing data from DCMS's Participation Survey 2023–24 and the Office of National Statistics Labour Force Survey, the report found the strongest link between cultural employment and art gallery attendance, followed by literary events and live dance. London boroughs dominated the top rankings, with Cambridge, Brighton and Hove, Oxford, Bristol, and Waverley also showing high correlations, though exceptions like Stoke-on-Trent and York highlighted local variations in specific art forms.
