Event details

What compels people to carry out attacks on art and have these motives changed over the years?

Join Tabitha Barber and Stacy Boldrick, co-curators of the recent Iconoclasm exhibition at Tate Britain, as they explore the history of iconoclasm in Britain. They will consider religious, political and aesthetic reasons for iconoclasm, including the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII and attacks on public sculpture.
