An Art Lover in Cambridge
I was invited to the University of Cambridge to take part in an evening organised by the Cambridge Dialectic Society. The discussion was concerned with ‘The Role of the Art Lover in addressing issues of the 21st Century’ and I was joined by Lauren Parker, Senior curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the artist, Mark Ariel Walker.
The evening began with an interview done by the students for VarsiTV and was followed by a dinner where the Q&A following the presentation continued – it was a good experience and I enjoyed the students’ questions and comments very much. You can watch more here
I couldn’t agree more with your comments, Vivienne! I always keep your thoughts on the the state of our world in my head and remind myself of them when I feel tempted by the propaganda of the media and society in general. It is so important for young people –and all of us–to listen to what you are saying and to apply it to their lives. Thanks for posting the video, and thanks for all of your efforts in helping to make the world a better place. Also, I wish you a belated Happy Birthday!

I wish Vivienne would come to Oxford and give a talk about the world, Art and Culture. It would cultivate and inspire so many people! Not to mention those who have the mental capacity to really want to see the world, and look at Art even if they do not study it themselves. I’d quite happily arrange a talk for Vivienne at Oxford Brookes University, slightly less prestigious as Oxford itself, but will reach a different audience, and hopefully a larger one.
