Taylor Swift's music video for her song 'The Fate of Ophelia' has been found to closely reference Friedrich Heyser's painting 'Ophelia' (ca. 1900), held at the Wiesbaden State Museum in Hamburg. Swifties have flocked to the museum by the hundreds to see the Art Nouveau work, surprising and delighting museum director Andreas Henning. Separately, a street mural reading 'Black Artists Matter' and a rainbow crosswalk in Austin, Texas, face removal under President Trump's directive against DEI initiatives, as ordered by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

Simone Leigh’s largest exhibition yet to explore ‘art made under fascism’

Simone Leigh will present her largest-ever exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in late 2027, featuring new monumental bronze and ceramic sculptures alongside film installations. The show, curated by Tarini Malik, will explore the theme of architecture and art created under fascist regimes, with Leigh citing the current political climate in the United States as a driving influence. Leigh, who represented the US at the 2022 Venice Biennale and won the Golden Lion, has noted that some artist commissions have been stalled or canceled due to anti-DEI policies.

The collective, operating behind the scenes, is concerned about federal overreach into admissions, hiring, curricula, and international student and faculty policies.
