Congratulating Jasleen Kaur on Winning the 2024 Turner Prize

  • Submitted by: Patrick Harvie, Glasgow, Scottish Green Party.
  • Date lodged: Wednesday, 18 December 2024
  • Motion reference: S6M-15877

That the Parliament congratulates Glasgow-born Jasleen Kaur on winning the prestigious Turner Prize for Alter Altar, an exhibition shown at Tramway in Glasgow, which featured a range of sculptures and soundscapes; notes that Kaur's work celebrates the Scottish Sikh community by transforming everyday objects into symbols of cultural memory and collective identity, and stands in solidarity with Kaur, who, it understands, chose to use her acceptance speech to call for a meaningful ceasefire in Palestine and for the Tate to divest from organisations that are complicit in the Israeli regime.
