300 UK cultural figures sign open letter against Brexit

Ahead of the referendum on June 23, more than 300 influential individuals from the UK's creative sectors have penned an open letter advocating for the nation's continued membership in the European Union. According to Artnet, the correspondence warns that exiting the EU would represent 'a leap into the dark' for countless professionals in the creative field, as well as for those who thrive on the dynamism of Britain's cultural landscape. Notable signatories include artists such as Tracey Emin, Anish Kapoor, and Jeremy Deller, alongside actors Keira Knightley and Benedict Cumberbatch, and fashion icon Vivienne Westwood. This effort follows Wolfgang Tillmans' campaign, which showcased posters during Photo London, highlighting the critical role of EU support in enabling diverse projects.
