David, originally from Scotland, has been living and guiding in Bilbao and northern Spain for many years. David is a published art historian, professional art educator and translator (he translated into English one of the standard guides to the architecture of Bilbao). He has a particular interest in the way the architecture of a city can tell its story, and has a passion for this endlessly curious part of the world.
This conversation is suitable for all ages.
90 minutes, including a 30 minute Q&A.
This lecture is a quiet assessment of the autonomy of the modern Spanish Basque region and I recommend it highly. We learn how post-Franco independence plays out currently in the language, the political identity, and the arts. Before that: "Who was telling the story?" Hosking asks.
