Clint Dyer on Othello, Turner Prize nominee Ingrid Pollard, should museums close controversial galleries?

Turner Prize-nominated artist Ingrid Pollard on exploring nationhood, history and identity, and should museums continue to display objects that may be offensive?

Clint Dyer discusses directing Othello starring Giles Terera at the National Theatre, the first Black director to do so. He talks about how he is approaching the racism and misogyny in the play, and the history of previous productions.

In the second of Front Row’s interviews with the artists nominated for this year’s Turner Prize, Ingrid Pollard discusses her work, Carbon Slowly Turning, and how she explores themes of nationhood, race, history and identity through portraiture and landscape.

And as the Wellcome Collection decides to close an exhibition described as sexist, racist and ableist, Front Row discusses whether museums should display historical objects that may offend gallery visitors.
