The winner of the 2025 Turner Prize will be revealed tonight in Bradford, this year's designated City of Culture. Arts journalist Yvette Huddleston is set to discuss the shortlisted artists. The cultural landscape is also bidding farewell to renowned photographer Martin Parr, celebrated for his vibrant images of British seaside life from the 1980s. His legacy is being honored, with a current exhibition at the Martin Parr Foundation in Bristol.
In a significant cultural discourse, the famed bust of Egyptian Queen Nefertiti is at the center of renewed repatriation debates. With the Grand Egyptian Museum now open in Giza, there are strong calls for the artifact to be returned from Berlin's Neues Museum to Egypt, where it is believed to belong.
Meanwhile, Punchdrunk, a company renowned for its pioneering immersive theatre experiences for over two decades, is showcasing its latest production. 'Lander 23' is an ambitious live-action video game set on a distant planet, exploring a mystery surrounding a vanished crew. The company's innovative approach transforms audiences into active participants within these constructed worlds.
