flag Glasgow artist Nnena Kalu, with a learning disability, becomes first in history to be shortlisted for the Turner Prize.

flag Nnena Kalu, a Glasgow-based artist with a learning disability and Nigerian heritage, has made history as the first artist with a learning disability shortlisted for the Turner Prize. flag Working with charity ActionSpace for over 25 years, her repetitive, joyful sculptures and drawings—inspired by disco and made from recycled materials—have evolved into large-scale, immersive installations now on display in Bradford, the UK City of Culture. flag As one of four finalists alongside Zadie Xa, Rene Matić, and Mohammed Sami, Kalu’s nomination marks a pivotal moment in art world inclusion. flag Her work, created with expressive energy despite limited verbal communication, challenges traditional gatekeeping. flag The exhibition at Cartwright Hall runs through February 22, with the winner to be announced on December 9.
