Welcome to the 10th episode (happy birthday to us!) of Cultural Capital, the weekly show where we pick out our favourite bits of London’s amazing arts and culture.
This week, we’re taking a sneak peek behind the scenes as the team at Alexandra Palace prepare the finishing touches for this weekend’s first big London festival, Kaleidoscope, and we take an in depth look at a pair of incredible paintings by Rubens, on display together for the first time in more than 200 years at the Wallace Collection.
Our much-loved Thing of the Week comes from the glittering hoard at Sutton Hoo, held by the British Museum, and I reviewing a new American pioneer drama with a refreshing twist, Mona Fastvold’s The World to Come, starring Vanessa Kirby and Katherine Waterston as farmer’s wives whose own relationship begins to eclipse everything else.
Enjoy watching!
