The shock departure of Saltzman, who became director of arts and participation at the Barbican in February 2024, comes two years after her arrival and months after she unveiled a five-year creative vision for the venue. Saltzman was named recently as one of the 40 most influential women working in the arts in the UK, and described as the driving force behind the organisation. The Barbican refused to confirm the exit, with a spokesperson telling the Guardian it would be unable to comment on individual staffing matters.
