Lecture Series

The Rothschild Foundation Lecture Series is an annual platform for some of the most important creative thinkers of our time to engage in discussion and debate in the Benjamin West Lecture Theatre at the Royal Academy Arts in London. The series brings together thinkers and practitioners at a time when the arts are increasingly open to conversations with other forms of thinking and approaches.
