- **Event Description**: Five leading cultural figures each deliver a fifteen-minute talk on an artwork that holds particular significance for them.About this EventWhat gives an artwork the power to change how we see the world? 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 fifteen-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.Geoff Dyer on a photograph that has had a lasting impact on his way of looking at the world.Ekow Eshun on an artwork that has shaped his thinking about identity, beauty and power.Andrew Graham Dixon on his favourite painting by Vermeer, re-seen through his radically new interpretation of the artist’s greatest works.Katy Hessel on an artwork by a woman artist that transformed how she sees the story of art.Sir Grayson Perry on an artwork that has influenced his creative life and ideas about art.Geoff Dyer is an award-winning author of four novels and numerous non-fiction books, including The Last Days of Roger Federer and Homework: A Memoir.

His 2012 book The Ongoing Moment: A Book About Photographs was described by the Sunday Telegraph as 'One of the most graceful ruminations on photography ever … Dyer's tour de force is as inspirational as it is accessible.'
