Scottish artist Nnena Kalu wins Turner Prize 2025 for hanging Barcelona sculptures and Liverpool exhibition | UK News
Scottish artist Nnena Kalu has won the 2025 Turner Prize with two exhibitions, including a series of brightly coloured sculptures.
The Glaswegian, 59, took home the visual arts prize along with £25,000 at an award ceremony on Tuesday in Bradford, this year’s UK City of Culture.
As reported by The Guardian, she is the first artist with a learning disability to win the award.

Along with Hanging Sculpture 1-10, which European art exhibitors Manifesta commissioned her to create at a disused power station in Barcelona, Ms Kalu won for her presentation in Conversations, a group exhibition at Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.
For the sculpture series, the artist created the vividly-coloured works from repeated lines and wrappings of different materials, making nest or cocoon-like forms.

The installation consisted of 10 large brightly-coloured sculptures that hung from grey concrete pillars of the industrial site.
Meanwhile, for Conversations, Kalu presented work in pen, graphite and chalk pen on two pieces of paper.

The jury, which was chaired by Alex Farquharson, the director of Tate Britain, commended Kalu’s “bold and compelling work” and praised the “lively translation of expressive gesture” in the abstract sculpture and drawing.
The panel also acknowledged her scale, composition and colour, highlighting “the powerful presence” her works have.

The works by the four artists are currently available to see at a free exhibition at Bradford’s Cartwright Hall Art Gallery until 22 February.

Rappers Bob Vylan sue Irish broadcaster RTE over claim lead singer led ‘antisemitic chants’ at Glastonbury gig | Ents & Arts News
Punk-rap duo Bob Vylan are suing Irish national broadcaster RTE for defamation, claiming it misrepresented chants led by the band when they played this year’s Glastonbury festival.
The group, which performed at Dublin’s Vicar Street last month, claim they were defamed in a report by RTE News that said the lead singer led antisemitic chants when they played the Somerset festival in June.
During their performance, singer Pascal Robinson-Foster, whose stage name is Bobby Vylan, led a chant of “death, death, to the IDF [Israel Defence Forces]”.

It provoked widespread criticism of the artist, including from Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis, and the BBC, which live streamed their show.
Phoenix Law launched legal action on behalf of Robinson-Foster and drummer Wade Laurence George at Ireland’s High Court on Monday, according to court records.
The firm said: “The proceedings arise from a broadcast aired by RTE News following Bob Vylan’s performance at Glastonbury Festival on 28 June 2025.
“During this broadcast, comments were made alleging that the lead singer of Bob Vylan led antisemitic chants. These allegations are categorically denied by our clients and are entirely untrue.”
Phoenix Law said Bob Vylan had made statements expressing support for Palestinian self-determination and criticising military actions by the IDF (Israel Defence Forces).
His comments did not target Jewish people or express hatred towards any group, the firm said, suggesting they were “politically charged but not antisemitic in nature”.
Solicitor Darragh Mackin said the pair “are no stranger to utilising their freedom of expression to speak out against the genocide in Gaza“.
Mr Mackin said there was “a fundamental distinction between speaking critically about the role of the Israeli state forces, and being antisemitic”.
“The former is speech within the confines of political expression, whereas the latter is a form of hatred directed towards Jewish people,” he added.

Who are Bob Vylan?
The BBC apologised, including to the Jewish community, and said it regretted not pulling the live stream of the set and promised not to live stream “high-risk” acts in future.
It partially upheld complaints made over the broadcast, accepting the live stream broke the corporation’s editorial guidelines.
Ofcom’s chief executive, Dame Melanie Dawes, said the BBC needed to “get a grip quicker” on handling such controversies and complete its internal reports and investigations sooner.
Last month, the Metropolitan Police said detectives would take no further action over similar alleged chants made at a Bob Vylan gig in London in May.
Avon and Somerset Police said a man, in his 30s, understood to be Mr Robinson-Foster, had voluntarily attended an interview in relation to the band’s Glastonbury performance.
The individual was not arrested but an investigation was ongoing, the Met said.
The US condemned the act’s “hateful tirade”, revoking their visas, while several festivals cancelled their upcoming appearances.
Speaking to Louis Theroux in October, Bobby Vylan said he had no regrets about the chants and would do it again “tomorrow”.
Sky News has contacted RTE for comment.
Afrobeats star BNXN, formerly known as Buju, has sparked fresh excitement among fans after posting a cryptic message that strongly points to an upcoming deluxe edition of his sophomore album, CAPTAIN.
The singer took to his Instagram Story on Tuesday, December 9, 2025 to share a brief studio clip accompanied by a rich, gospel-inspired melody, suggesting that new music may be on the way. The video was captioned with the simple but telling words, “See you on Friday — CAPTAIN,” immediately setting off speculation across social media.
CAPTAIN, which was released in July, has enjoyed both critical praise and strong commercial performance, further establishing BNXN as one of the standout voices in contemporary Afrobeats. Since the album’s release, fans have been calling for additional material, making the timing of the post especially significant.
Although BNXN has yet to make an official announcement, the mention of the album title alongside a clear release day has led many to believe that a deluxe version is set to arrive. Industry chatter and previous online hints have already suggested that an expanded edition could be in the works, potentially featuring new songs and notable guest appearances. Unconfirmed reports have even pointed to a possible collaboration with Burna Boy.
For now, BNXN is keeping details tightly under wraps, but the anticipation continues to build as listeners wait for confirmation of the tracklist and featured artists. If the speculation proves accurate, the CAPTAIN deluxe could arrive as one of the final major Afrobeats releases of the year.

This Is Crossing The Line – Reactions Trail Video Of Blaqbonez Being Attacked During His Performance In Abuja
Reactions have poured in after Nigerian singer Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, reportedly faced hostility during a performance in Abuja.
Earlier, Tori News reported that Blaqbonez was pelted with objects by fans during the show.
The incident took place at Delphino Picnic behind the Abuja Velodrome on December 7.
In a video seen by Tori News, part of the audience booed him and threw objects at the stage, interrupting his show.
The rapper, who performed alongside Runtown and Duncan Mighty, faced disruptions during his song ‘ACL’ from his October album No Excuses.
Some attendees reacted angrily, possibly due to his earlier conflict with his colleague, Odumodublvck or his recent statements online.
Despite the tense moments, Blaqbonez remained composed and later shared updates thanking fans and reflecting on the performance.

- Chef Dammy, has graduated from culinary school, officially earning her certification as a professional chef.
- The achievement marks a major step forward following her high-profile but unrecognized 120-hour cook-a-thon attempt in Oye-Ekiti, which, despite lacking Guinness World Records approval, brought her nationwide attention.
Nigerian chef Damilola Adeparusi, popularly known as Chef Dammy, has officially graduated from culinary school, marking a significant milestone in her professional career. The graduation certifies her as a professional chef, a long-held dream for the young culinary enthusiast.
From Record Attempt to Certification
The news of her certification comes months after she gained national attention for her ambitious, yet controversial, cooking attempt. Earlier this year, Chef Dammy attempted an unregistered 120-hour cook-a-thon in Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State. The marathon cooking effort was aimed at challenging the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time by an individual.
Although her attempt was not officially monitored or certified by Guinness World Records due to her failure to follow necessary registration protocols, the event brought her massive publicity and highlighted her determination to pursue a professional career in the culinary arts.
Her decision to enroll in and complete culinary school signals a successful pivot from seeking record fame to securing formal professional qualifications.
