Join architecture critic Rowan Moore and artist Jock McFadyen for a compelling conversation exploring the relationship between place and painting in McFadyen’s work.

Focusing on his depictions of east London’s industrial and post-industrial landscapes—spaces shaped by decay, change and renewal—the discussion considers how environments influence artistic practice and perception. Through reflections on memory, observation and material process, the event invites audiences to think about how we connect to the places we inhabit. Linking to the theme of belonging, it highlights how familiar and overlooked urban settings can foster identity, attachment and shared cultural experience within a constantly evolving city.
