Culture Capture?
Activist and satirist Heydon Prowse explores what’s driving the Gulf states’ interest in the UK’s cultural scene.
BAFTA winning activist and satirist Heydon Prowse gives a personal take on how and why the Gulf States are so interested in British culture.
From cash-strapped theatres and museums to huge infrastructure projects, Gulf money is a key ingredient across our cultural landscape. What does this mean to us and what’s in it for them? Critics cry ‘culture washing’ but is this really what’s going on and should we care?
