Prominent philanthropist Candida Gertler resigns from all voluntary positions within British arts institutions, citing antisemitism and the normalization of hate. The move is a protest against the rise of antisemitism and the failure of art institutions to confront prejudice. The Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art removes Gertler's name from one of its galleries and donor board. An open letter signed by 1,100 artists and workers calls on the Tate to cut ties with donors including Gertler's Outset Contemporary Art Fund.
