Just want to send a shout out to Jean Hackett for removing the ridiculous blue and pink stitching over JK Rowling's name in an art work intended to name women that viewers of the work thought should be celebrated.
Well done!

Quote:WRN told me when their member saw this stitchwork she raised a verbal complaint with the Hall’s curator. She was told “because it was someone’s view they felt the stitching should stay to respect that one person’s view. When asked where the respect was for the person who originally stitched the name, she could not answer.”

And then:

Quote:I asked the National Trust for their perspective on what Jean and Aleks did. A spokesperson replied: “We are deeply disappointed that visitors tampered with this piece of art on Saturday. It has been closed to new contributions since the end of November last year. While the artwork encourages consideration, debate and discussion, we ask that this is carried out in a respectful way.”

So someone crossing out a woman's name with trans flag color stitching is not tampering, but someone removing the stitching that covered up a woman's name is tampering?

And then apparently there was an update: National Trust covers up artwork to “assess” it after stitching over JK Rowling’s name is removed

Quote:The National Trust has covered over a piece of art, called A Virtuous Woman, previously on display at Hardwick Hall, an Elizabethan stately home in Derbyshire.

Visitors are now confronted by a sign which says “Unfortunately, the artwork has been tampered with by a member of the public. Please bear with us while we assess the piece and decide on the best course of action.”

So pathetic. Silencing women for the sake of delulu men in dresses.
