Exploring London's evolution as a global creative hub, this chapter features discussions with key figures from the city's cultural landscape. Through personal anecdotes and reflections on the diverse population and artistic offerings, the chapter highlights the profound impact of global talent on London's artistic scene and the sense of identity and belonging fostered by engaging with its cultural richness.
Has London's cultural power essentially radiated outwards, influencing artists and creatives across the world? Or is London's creative preeminence dependent on the influx of global talent that has galvanised its artistic scene? In this panel discussion, curator and cultural historian Gus Casely-Hayford, journalist Dylan Jones, museum director Tim Marlow, Sotheby’s Europe chairman Helena Newman and artist Grayson Perry explore the importance of cultural exchange, regardless of its origin, in shaping London's rise as a creative powerhouse.
