Great new op-ed from John-Paul Stonard in The Art Newspaper! “The sponsorship from BP [at the British Museum] is essentially a payment for reputation enhancement…from a company that, under its new CEO, has announced downgrading renewable energy projects.” theartnewspaper.com/2024/07/26/fro…

Earlier this year, several architect groups said they wouldn’t bid for the British Museum’s redevelopment due to sponsorship by oil giant BP. 🔥🛢️ We urge the shortlisted architects to reconsider and withdraw their bids, until BP is dropped by the Museum! architectsjournal.co.uk/news/british-m…

Sorry Thangam Debbonaire - calling out unethical sponsorship deals is *not* pointless! 🤨💰🏛️ This is a disappointingly uninformed and misleading piece which overlooks the fundamental reasons why unethical corporations with an image problem like BP seek to sponsor the arts... 1/x

Morning, Science Museum! Just so you know, Chair of the Adani Group and two execs from your sponsor Adani Green Energy have been indicted, and an arrest warrant issued for Gautam Adani. 😮 Will you now *finally* be cutting ties to Adani? 👀

🚨 NEW in The Art Newspaper! “The @ScienceMuseum is facing fresh scrutiny over one of its sponsors, Adani Green Energy—a subsidiary of the Indian conglomerate Adani Group—after charges were brought against the group’s billionaire chairman, Gautam Adani.” theartnewspaper.com/2024/11/22/con…
