London has been hailed as the world’s leading center of culture and creativity.
Leading figures from London’s creative sector last night came together to stress the importance of culture to the city’s international reputation and influence.
At the event to launch London’s autumn season of blockbuster exhibitions the Chinese Ambassador to the UK hailed London as the greatest cultural city on earth and said that a forthcoming major exhibition on the Ming Dynasty at the British Museum would help promote better understanding between China and the UK.
The event at Tate Britain saw leading figures from across the city’s cultural institutions, including Sir Nicholas Kenyon, Director of the Barbican, Kerstin Mogull, Managing Director of Tate, and Sir Quentin Blake of the new House of Illustration at King’s Cross, highlight London’s amazing diversity of top class exhibitions, theatre, music and cultural events.
Being awarded for an outstanding achievement should be the pinnacle of one’s career. It should be a time for celebration and joy. Yet, Britain’s honours system has corrupted this natural reaction. Due to its close association with the legacy of the British Empire, a passage of history plagued with the exploitation of ethnic minorities, celebrating success has become morally questionable.
A conflict arises as one must choose between their individual pride and respect for those exploited by the colonialist system. If the former is prioritised, although an award that recognises one’s achievements is accepted, this is done with a guilty conscience. Alternatively, regardless of a clear conscience, if the latter is chosen, an award that is rightly deserved is declined.
