One afternoon in 1895, while being transported to prison Oscar Wilde was made to stand on a railway platform, where people jeered and spat at him – a humiliating ordeal. This episode takes us to south west London, where the poet and playwright paved the way for LGBTQ+ rights through his experience and is remembered with a very special plaque. London's LGBTQ+ history can sometimes feel hard to see or find, as much of it is hidden, lost or goes untold. Supported by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, London's rainbow plaques are designed to highlight this heritage in our streets. What does it mean to queer Londoners to see LGBTQ+ histories commemorated in the city where they live, work and love? In this episode, we talk to queer Londoners today about the importance of recognising significant people, places and moments in LGBTQ+ history, through the lens of the city's rainbow plaques and beyond. Listeners should be advised that this episode contains a single swear word at 13m41s. You may like to skip forward by a couple of seconds if you don't want to hear this. ---------- Presenter: Aindrea Emelife, Curator of Modern and Contemporary at MOWAA (Museum of West African Art).

This week: we explore the Art Institute of Chicago's exhibition dedicated to what Georgia O'Keeffe called her New Yorks—paintings of skyscrapers and views from one of them across the East River, which marked a turning point in her career. Sarah Kelly Oehler, one of the curators of the show, tells us more. One of the most distinctive of all London's contemporary art spaces, Studio Voltaire, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and has begun a fundraising drive to consolidate its future, with a gala dinner this week and a Christie's auction later this month. We talk to the chair of Studio Voltaire's trustees and a non-executive director of Frieze, Victoria Siddall, about the anniversary and the precarious funding landscape, even for the UK's most dynamic non-profits. And this episode's Work of the Week is an untitled painting from the Austrian painter Martha Jungwirth's 2022 series Francisco de Goya, Still Life with Ribs and Lamb's Head. Based on a work by the Spanish master in the Louvre in Paris, Jungwirth's painting features in a new survey of her work that has just opened at the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain.

This week: On Monday, tents sprung up at Oxford and Cambridge as part of a global, pro-Palestinian student protest which began at Columbia University. In his cover piece, Yascha Mounk, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, explains how universities in both the US and the UK have misguidedly harboured and actively encouraged absurdist activism on campuses. Yascha joined the podcast to discuss further. (01:57) Next: Bugs, biscuits, trench foot: a dispatch from the front line of the protests. The Spectator's Angus Colwell joined students at tent encampments this week at UCL, Oxford and Cambridge. He found academics joining in with the carnival atmosphere. At Cambridge one don even attended with their baby in tow. ‘Peaceful protest? Rubbish it does nothing,' a UCL student tells him. ‘Zionist attitudes start young, and we need our institutions to correct that. None of us are free until all of us are free, until Zionism is gone.' One Jewish UCL student claims they were spat at by protestors ‘who told us to go back to Poland'. As part of his research, Angus sat down with Anwar, a spokesperson for the protestors at University College London and he sent us that conversation, which you can hear on the podcast. (17:34) Then: Lara and Will take us through some of their favourite pieces from the magazine, including Philip Hensher's Life column and James Delingpole's review of Shardlake on Disney +. And finally: should we take Beryl Cook more seriously? In his arts lead for the magazine this week, Julian Spalding writes about Beryl Cook whose unique art is celebrated by many as an exuberant take on everyday life. However she is often looked down upon within the art establishment. To coincide with a new exhibition of her work at Studio Voltaire we thought we would reappraise her legacy with Julian and Rachel Campbell-Johnston, former chief art critic at the Times. (29:44) Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Victoria Siddall is a non-executive Director of Frieze, a co-founder and trustee of Gallery Climate Coalition, and the Founding Director of Murmur, a new initiative that enables the worlds of visual arts and music to play their part in combatting the climate crisis. A strategic advisor to museums and businesses on art, sustainability and fundraising, Siddall is Chair of the board of trustees of Studio Voltaire, Cultural Trustee of the National Portrait Gallery and a trustee of the Ampersand Foundation UK. “Frieze Masters was the first fair that I launched and ran as Director.” “The aim is to unite the art and music industries and channel funds into the most impactful climate initiatives.” “Artists are really at the heart of the whole art ecosystem, so the investment there is critical.”
An habitué of the vibrant New York art, fashion and nightlife scene of the 1970s and 80s, where the crowd included Cookie Mueller, Basquiat and Holly Woodlawn, Covert's works featuring celebrity graves have become a life's journey. With his first solo show opening in London, he talks to Danielle Radojcin about past lives, future pilgrimages and being a survivor.
Frieze Masters presents this conversation with Anthea Hamilton & Nicholas Cullinan in partnership with Studio Voltaire @studiovoltairelondon. Their conversation explores the trajectory of Hamilton's work, the geopolitical basis of her identity as a ‘Londoner' and how elements from the ‘fourth dimension' shape her work. “We're actually functioning in a four-dimensional space, and I tried to think about what might be in the fourth dimension, if it's not just depth. And for me, those fourth dimensional things are emotions, power, wealth, and those are the kinds of things I think, which are shaping the practice as it kind of goes forward." – Anthea Hamilton Anthea Hamilton @hamiltonanthea was born in London in 1978, where she lives and works. Her approach has often focused on extended study into archives, scientific research and popular culture combining these with resonant images and objects in unusual and surreal ways. Nicholas Cullinan @nicholascullinan is an art historian, curator and Director of the National Portrait Gallery in London. About the Frieze Masters Podcast Exploring themes of identity, originality, geopolitics and Blackness through a historical lens, the new Frieze Masters Podcast is now available. Bringing together some of today's most celebrated artists, art historians and curators, the podcast launches with the Talks programme from the 2022 edition of Frieze Masters – one of the world's leading art fairs – and offers compelling insight into the influence of historical art on contemporary perspectives and creativity. www.frieze.com @friezeofficial

Last week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson unveiled his "benefits to bricks" plan to tackle the UK housing crisis - the chronic shortage of homes to rent and buy and climbing property prices. According to the charity Shelter at present across the UK there are currently 17.5 million adults without safe, secure or stable homes. If you include children in this number – it is 1 in 3. A new book Tenants is about people on the frontline of Britain's housing emergency – and describes particularly how a shortage of homes is affecting women. The author is journalist Vicky Spratt, housing correspondent for the I newspaper, and she joins Emma in the studio. Covid rates appear to be rising again and some experts are predicting a new wave of the virus over the summer. In the week to 2nd June, 1 in 65 people in the UK were testing positive – up from 1 in 70 the previous week. But do we actually need to worry about it – and if so, what should we be should we be doing to protect ourselves? Emma will be getting the thoughts of Professor Devi Sridhar, who's chair of global public health at Edinburgh University, and sits on the Scottish Government Covid-19 Advisory Group. Listener Christian Peake was given a huge stack of canvasses painted by her grandmother the artist Maeve Gilmore who had died when Christian was 11 and whose artistic work had been over-shadowed by her more famous husband Mervyn Peake. A busy teacher and mother, Christian didn't really know what to do with them. As time went on though she became increasingly determined to get Maeve's work the recognition she feels it deserves. She has created an online gallery at maeve_gilmore_archive on Instagram and her grandmother's first exhibition is currently on at Studio Voltaire in Clapham, London. A new report by healthcare charity Doctors of the World reveals that some migrant women have been charged up to £14,000 for NHS maternity services in England. The survey of 257 migrant women - including undocumented, refugee and asylum seeking women - shows that over a third have received a bill for maternity care. The bills range from £296 to £14,000 with half of those receiving a bill being charged more than £7000. To discuss the findings Emma is joined by Anna Miller, Head of Policy and Advocacy at Doctors of the World, and we hear from Kemi, who received a bill for £4900 after having an emergency caesarean section. Apparently, the naked dress is in - catwalk models and celebrities have been wearing dresses with depictions of the female form on them - some have gilded sculpted breasts with prominent nipples.

Scott works out of a gallery and studio called Creative Growth that advances the inclusion of artists with developmental disabilities. (Scott was born schizophrenic and is also on the autistic spectrum.) Scott Frequently describes himself as an architect, reinventing the social topography of a gentrified San Francisco, as a utopian city he calls ‘Praise Frisco' in works that combine architectural design with civic responsibility to describe his desire for a more equitable society. The first significant survey of Scott's 30–year practice was recently exhibited at Studio Voltaire - a London-based not–for–profit arts organisation.
