Anthony d'Offay, the Tate Modern's artist-in-residence, has resigned after a year in protest at director Maria Balshaw's “appalling response to sexual harassment and violence” in the art world. Wynter, who describes herself as a gay, working-class woman, was also angered at the gallery's lack of diversity, pointing out that "every single director is white". Balshaw sparked anger over what was considered a lukewarm response to harassment allegations against Tate donor Liv Wynter. Wynter has called on the museum to further champion the work of grassroots activists and minorities.
