The 2024 RIBA + Grimshaw Foundation Annual Art Lecture returns, bringing together the interdisciplinary worlds of art and architecture.

This year the lecture will be given by Guyanese-British sculptor Hew Locke, followed by a conversation and questions with writer and curator Ekow Eshun.

Launched in 2022 as a collaboration between RIBA and the Grimshaw Foundation, the lecture series supports the aspirations of the two organisations: elevating creativity as an essential skill for the future and creating opportunities for young people from diverse backgrounds to explore and engage with the worlds of art, design, and architecture.
