Grayson Perry

Join Alain de Botton, Grayson Perry, Anne Atkins, and Dom Antony Sutch in a spirited discussion about the relevance of religion in a secular world. They explore if community rituals can exist without belief in God and debate the significance of art and philosophy in shaping values. The conversation dives into the complexities of spirituality, morality, and goodness, challenging the notion that secularism holds all the answers. Ultimately, they question how to fill the 'God-shaped hole' in society while celebrating the bonds that unite us, regardless of faith.

Turner Prize winning artist Grayson Perry discusses the significance of silliness in art, the complexities of class mobility, and the influence of social backgrounds on perceptions of art and personal preferences.

In this engaging discussion, multi-talented artist Grayson Perry joins curator Gus Casely-Hayford, journalist Dylan Jones, and Sotheby’s Europe chairman Helena Newman. They delve into London’s rise as a creative powerhouse influenced by cultural exchange. The conversation touches on the transformational impact of the Tate Modern, the challenges of inequality in the arts, and the balance between commercialization and artistic authenticity. They also reflect on the necessity of inclusivity in art spaces and the resilience of London’s vibrant creative culture.
