Creating Cities of the Imagination

Overview of Lecture Series

A return to the Garden of Eden or Utopia is ingrained in Western Christian consciousness and finds its equivalent in popular conceptions of the history of European cities. In our imagination we visualise Venice in the Renaissance, Amsterdam during the 17th century Golden Age and Paris in the 19th century Belle Epoque. These conceptions run parallel with the images produced by the artists of these times.

The artists’ vision crystallise and immortalise the vibrancy and energy of the values that made these cities great and continue to inform our collective imagination.

This lecture series will trace the sometimes thin line between civic pride and political propaganda.
