In today's episode of chART, the squad takes a trip to Bristol to discuss one of the most controversial events as of late in the art world. When Black Lives Matter protesters took down the statue of Edward Colston from due to his relationship with the slave trade, a lot of people saw it coming. But what no one expected was that Marc Quinn would fill its plinth again shortly after with a cast of one of said protesters. "A Surge of Power (Jenn Reid)" took the whole world by surprise, pleasing some and infuriating others. Is this a tribute to the cause that Marc Quinn should be praised for, or just another case of a white privileged  artist capitalising on the struggles of others? Tune in to hear what the chART squad think about it!
