The most significant proof of the power of art is the fact that some people feel the need to destroy it. Attacks and acts of destruction have gone on for as long as art has existed, from the iconoclastic riots of the Protestant Reformation to climate protesters’ defilement of paintings in national museums. This lecture will explore artworks that have survived despite attacks, the appeal of ruins and the practice of using destructive strategies to create art.

After working for the National Gallery for 20 years, Aliki Braine now teaches for Christie’s Education and the Wallace Collection and is an Associate Lecturer for the Camberwell College of Art. Aliki is also a practicing artist who regularly exhibits her photographic work internationally.
