Cultural is about delivering surprises, saying the unsayable and thinking the unthinkable
Brian Clark

A personal view of Greece, Britain and the arts, a lecture by Bruce Clark

30 June 2020, Athens, Greece

As part of 'The Venizelos Library Talks' held by the British Embassy Athens, Bruce Clark gives an online lecture titled 'A personal view of Greece, Britain and the arts', followed by a piano recital by Manos Kitsikopoulos.

Introduced by Kate Smith, HM Ambassador, this lecture is worth watching and we found it inspiration, not least as we too believe that cultural diplomacy needs to be upheld and may it help bring about many exciting new chapters to Anglo Greek relations.
