Let's explore London through the lens of architecture, which is an important part of history of art. The 1hr talk is divided in four sections, with 10mins for Q&As:
- London's masterplan (or rather the lack of it!)
- Buildings that pay tribute to the past (Neoclassical, Gothic revival, Arts & Crafts)
- Buildings that try to innovate (Art Deco) and to rupture with the past (Modernism-Brutalism, post-Modernism)
- Suggested experiences: the NLA organisation, the London Festival of Architecture, the Royal Institute of British Architects.
About Roberta
I have a big passion for history of art and architecture and I love presenting on different art topics, making them relevant and interesting for all audiences. My knowledge is based on academic studies, guiding art and architecture tours in London as well as going to exhibitions on my own and talking to artists. Example of topics of my talks: art & music, art & wine, art & fashion, the architecture of London. Ad-hoc art topics can be agreed with the organisation.
My art tour organisation is called Art Tours with a Theme - ART wiT and you can check out my activity on Instagram @artwit_london and Facebook @artwitlondon. My talks are offered in-person in London and online. You can have a look at my past talks on my YouTube channel (youtube.com/channel/UCZZIqTNVyZZDNZcwnw3kIpw).
