The collective voice of the 2019 Turner Prize winners

It was announced this evening that the Turner Prize 2019 – featuring Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Helen Cammock, Oscar Murillo, and Tai Shani – has been awarded to a collective bringing together the nominated artists. The four nominees came together to request that the jury consider awarding the Prize to them as a collective. In recognition of these artists’ shared commitment to urgent social and political causes, the jury unanimously decided to honour that request. Below, read our take on the Prize, first published in September
