Affluence facilitates the flow of ideas between places, and the transformation of wealth into cultural capital. Richard Cork examines the specific example of the Portinari Altarpiece while John Eade explores the effects of incoming cultures on existing urban fabric.

In the Reynolds Room; 6.30–8pm; £7/£4* (includes a drink)
