Talks, tours and performances

This event includes activity developed and delivered by Young Barbican members who have been giving ‘My Basquiat’ tours of the gallery throughout the run of Basquait: Boom For Real.  

We invited Young Barbican members to ‘read’ the gallery through their unique viewpoints and the result is a mix of tours, talks and performances culminating at our Young Barbican Members Private View.
