| Art Museum Warns That Images Of British Countryside Can Evoke ‘Dark' ‘Nationalist' Feelings |
| 2024-03-16 |
| [WIRE] An art museum in England has issued a warning to patrons that images of a British countryside in paintings can evoke what it labeled "dark," "nationalist feelings." The Fitzwilliam Museum, owned by the University of Cambridge, decided to overhaul some of its displays, something that the museum’s director Luke Syson insisted is not being "woke." "I would love to think that there’s a way of telling these larger, more inclusive histories that doesn’t feel as if it requires a push-back from those who try to suggest that any interest at all in [this work is] what would now be called ’woke,'" Syson told the Telegraph, as reported by Yahoo News. The paintings have been moved around into categories in an effort to make the museum "inclusive." "Being inclusive and representative shouldn’t be controversial; it should be enriching," Syson said. One of the signs in the Nature Gallery, showing the work of artist John Constable’s paintings of English hills, noted that the artwork can stir feelings of "pride towards a homeland." |

| #6 I'm all over Nationalist Feelings and Pride about being an American, A White Anglo-Saxon, Christian, 15th generation American, whose family came to Maryland in 1657 and whose forebears and people like them built this country. If that bothers you, enjoy the suck! |
