Join Professor Christoph Lindner, Vice-Chancellor and President of the Royal College of Art, for a talk on the digital-spatial strategies that cities like London are using to revivify urban public spaces in the wake of the pandemic. Drawing on findings from his recently published book Aesthetics of Gentrification, Professor Lindner argues that many cities worldwide are experiencing a rise in embodied aesthetic practices – rooted in digital/immersive forms of urbanism – following the restrictions of lockdown and social distancing. Far from being unique to London or the post-pandemic moment, these practices have a long, deep history tied to the neoliberal project of post-industrial renewal. The difference now is that the after-effects of the pandemic, combined with new digital technologies of simulation and immersion, are making it possible to remake cities in more extreme and divisive ways. As cities recover from the pandemic and urban publics return to the shared spaces of the city, there is urgency in understanding these transformations and their effects on contemporary urban life.

It is commonplace now for Football League clubs to field several Black players, so much so that it scarcely merits comment. But it wasn’t always like that. In the 1960s it was possible for a player to go through his entire career without ever having a single Black team mate or facing a single Black player on the opposing team. That situation changed gradually during the 1970s and 1980s but being a Black footballer could still be a very lonely experience. Join Bill Hern and David Gleave, authors of Football’s Black Pioneers – The Stories of the First Black Players to Represent the 92 League Clubs, as they celebrate some of the men who first broke down barriers, pioneering footballers, men who faced discrimination and racism alone and, in doing so, paved the way for generations to come and changed the face of British football forever.
