Ownership of History matters, insofar as who gets to destroy it. Iconoclasm is explored through the power of political and religious symbolism. Byzantine, Roman, Egyptian, French and Chinese histories are framed as by their destruction.

Art with/out context: Part 1

Gestalt is an idea that posits the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. History, too, is like that; the sum of all human endeavour creates a grand narrative, larger in scope and scale than any single event. Each episode, we will explore a concept that forms a part of this grand narrative by examining some of the events; spread across time and region, that let it flourish. The ultimate goal is to place our present in the context of the past and in preparation for the future
