5x15: Art experts on the art that changed them

What makes an artwork unforgettable? Is it beauty, shock, technique, politics, or something more personal and harder to define?

In this art-focused 5x15, five leading cultural figures will each deliver a 15-minute talk on an artwork that holds particular significance for them. Taking one artwork as a starting point, each speaker will open up a wider story about how art shapes the way we see the world, from private obsession to shared cultural meaning.

Speakers

• Geoff Dyer
• Andrew Graham Dixon
• Katy Hessel
• Grayson Perry
• Final speaker to be announced
