Intelligence Squared provided content creation, script development, and full scale technical production to create engaging online conversations, which included securing contemporary artists and high profile cultural figures to sit alongside leading Sotheby’s experts in a carefully curated conversation on the selected topic.

The series was recorded via an interactive platform allowing art works and videos to be shown on screen during the conversation. The online events were livestreamed and then posted on the Sotheby’s website for on-demand viewing.

Speakers included Marina Abramovic, Tracey Emin, Kehinde Wiley, Yinka Shonibare CBE, Julianne Moore, Lubaina Himid and more. View the talks here.
