Winchester Centre for Global Futures in Art Design & Media

Talks, seminars and events

Winchester Centre for Global Futures in Art Design & Media organises a schedule of visiting speakers whose talk coincides with what researchers at the Centre are undertaking, and beyond. The lectures, film screenings and seminars illustrate the cutting-edge research we do here through our links with world renowned academics, artists and public figures. All these events are free and open to the public.

Each year, since our inaugural year in 2011, our programme of lectures, seminars and film screenings have been excellent, well attended and generative of lively discussion.

Below shows the talks in the series which have taken place so far.
