After rigorous review, a controversial historic mural in Tate Britain’s café will go back on public view this year:

The decision to keep the work on view alongside a contemporary artist’s reinterpretation was made by a working group called “The Rex Whistler Mural Discussions,” which was co-chaired by five members, four of whom were people of color. The group consulted with artists, art historians, cultural advisors, and civic representatives.
“The Rex Whistler mural presents a unique challenge,” Alex Farquharson said in a statement. “The mural is part of our institutional and cultural history and we must take responsibility for it, but this new approach will also enable us to reflect the values and commitments we hold today and to bring new voices and ideas to the fore.”
