The Writing on the Wall – Bonus virtual tour VIA ZOOM

Lecturer: Antony Robbins

Lecture Date: 17 August, 2021

The Writing on the Wall explores the world of street art. Antony will chart the evolution of the genre and the styles of different artists. He will also reflect on the dilemma facing local authorities. They really don’t know whether to remove illegal graffiti or protect valuable street art for perpetuity.

 

This bonus talk starts at our usual time of 10.30am. Anyone who submits their application for full membership before 17 August is of course also very welcome to sign in to this talk. Our Membership Secretary will be pleased to advise you how.

Antony Robbins, aka Mr Londoner, is a Blue Badge guide and a communications specialist. A former Museum of London director, Antony has also worked in senior positions in international aid.

 

As a guide, his special interests include street art, sustainability and contemporary culture. Antony advises business improvement districts and cultural organisations. He lives in the heart of the capital – the city of his birth. He’s also an accomplished broadcaster with a regular slot on BBC Radio London.
