Greetings,

Google Alerts has provided four articles that you may find interesting (or, at least with the first one and third one, somewhat disturbing).

First, there is an article from The Guardian about an attempt to prevent Charleston from continuing to use a council building in Lewes as a place to exhibit art:

Second, there is a review of Vanessa Bell: The Life and Art of a Bloomsbury Radical by Wendy Hitchmough (Yale, pp. 352, £30) and A Bloomsbury Ingénue: The Life and Loves of Euphemia Lamb by Andrea Obholzer:

The artist Vanessa Bell, née Stephen, the wife of Clive Bell, is enjoying the limelight this year as an exhibition of her work travels the country. Hot on its coat-tails comes Wendy Hitchmough ...

Third, there is an article in The Guardian about statues representing women with the focus on assigning a commission to a male sculptor (see title in the link below). In the last paragraph, the bust of Woolf in Tavistock Square is mentioned and so is Emma Woolf's reference to the Camden council as the "wokerati" because of the decision to provide a QR documenting Woolf's "'offensive' attitudes": https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.theguardian.com/global/2025/mar/16/anger-male-sculptor-commissioned-statue-suffragist-edinburgh-elsie-inglis__;!!KGKeukY!wTYio4ZX1UfwruYNtleKj_KWvna2muMiIq1wPvCSYq2-uMgIkCAulfPTFspewVoc7dzWLJzCYGDXs4PHCVbKNVeLqRI2$ .

Fourth, there is a passing reference to Woolf and Vita Sackville-West in the first paragraph of a review of Cate Blanchett's performance in The Seagull:  https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.thejc.com/life/the-seagull-review-cate-blanchett-gives-it-pitchperfect-pizzazz-oyldbmda__;!!KGKeukY!wTYio4ZX1UfwruYNtleKj_KWvna2muMiIq1wPvCSYq2-uMgIkCAulfPTFspewVoc7dzWLJzCYGDXs4PHCVbKNTvzc1Hb$
