THE NEOLIBERAL ideology that has dominated our culture for half a century is crumbling to pieces.

The government is desperately trying to patch together support for its reactionary, oppressive policies and, among the chaos, conflicts and injustices of Brexit, Grenfell Tower, gender inequality, and sexual harassment, Arts Council England (ACE), which exists to provide public subsidy to cultural institutions, decides it needs new council members.

So who do you think is appointed by the Tory government in order to defend and promote the imposition of corporate, capitalist values in art and culture? Who might have the relevant qualifications and experience at privatising the arts and preventing the creation and consumption of art from becoming a communal, anti-capitalist and politically liberating force?
