Dr Gus Casely-Hayford, the founding Director of V&A East, will talk about the new museum presently under construction.
V&A East is a new cultural institution that builds on the V&A's long-standing history in east London and our founding mission to make the arts accessible to all. We want to amplify the role museums play as platforms for discovery, hope and conversation in our rapidly changing world, and we will craft a creative campus, a social space with a global outlook that is truly embedded within its local community. We want to create relaxed and inclusive spaces, to welcome people who may not have felt museums were for them in the past, to empower young people – not only by radically increasing access to the cultural industries and opening up our national collections – but by brining them with us on the journey.
