Faces of Britain Missing Portraits and the Gaps in British History
b'Intelligence Squared and Harewood House partner for this live podcast exploring the power of portraiture in representing Britain\\u2019s complex history. The expert panel includes artist Thomas J Price, Director of the National Portrait Gallery, Nicholas Cullinan, and Contributing Editor at Novara Media, Moya Lothian-McLean. Joining our speakers are the Earl of Harewood David Lascelles and our host, writer and presenter Yassmin Abdel-Magied. The event coincides with the recent launch of Missing Portraits, a new series commissioned by David and Diane Lascelles to be part of the permanent collection at Harewood House, that depicts people of Afro-Caribbean heritage with a connection to Harewood \\u2013 the inaugural portrait being of Arthur France, founder of the Leeds West Indian Carnival. The series is part of an effort to better reflect the history of Harewood, which was built on the vast fortune made by Henry Lascelles through the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Harewood acknowledges the troubled roots of its wealth and seeks to address the historic lack of diversity within its vast art collection. This situation is not unique to Harewood, which since 1986 has been an educational charity. Whether it\\u2019s in the school curriculum or the collections of museums and galleries, the diversity and complexity of Britain\\u2019s colonial history is not fully reflected in our understanding of the past.\\n\\nFind out more at https://harewood.org/\\n...\\nDid you know that Intelligence Squared offers way more than podcasts?
