Jasleen Kaur, whose art reflects her childhood in a Sikh community in Scotland, won the Turner Prize amidst a pro-Palestinian protest challenging Tate's associations.
Activists outside Tate Britain called for the museum to sever ties with donors who they allege have links to Israel's government, highlighting ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Kaur's participation in the protest, marked by her waving a Palestinian colors scarf, reflects the intersection of art, identity, and political activism within contemporary discourse.
The Turner Prize jury's chair emphasized the focus on Kaur's artistic work rather than the ongoing protests, illustrating potential divides in public sentiment surrounding art and politics.
