The National Trust had to remove an artwork celebrating women at Hardwick Hall due to ongoing disputes regarding JK Rowling's contributions. During the exhibition's participatory phase, her name was stitched onto the artwork multiple times, but it was also covered up by other participants, reflecting the polarizing nature of her public persona. The National Trust is now investigating the incidents, reinforcing its commitment to preserve the integrity of displayed art. This situation underscores the complexities of public discourse surrounding gender and representation in the arts today.
"During the participation phase, JK Rowling's name was stitched onto the piece seven times and in two instances it was stitched over by other participants."
"The National Trust has been forced to take down artwork celebrating women after Harry Potter author JK Rowling's name was covered up twice."
