Adam Lowe in conversation with Sol Costales and Alex Ellis

Beauty is often considered a universal value, an objective quality that transcends time and space. However, the criteria by which we judge whether something is beautiful are determined by cultural conventions, historical circumstances, and systems of power. What one culture reveres as beautiful, another may overlook. Adam Lowe—internationally recognized for his pioneering work in the field of heritage conservation and the development of rematerialization techniques—explores beauty as a cultural condition that determines how we see, value, preserve, and transmit material culture. He will talk about this theme to Alex Ellis, UK Ambassador in Spain, and to Sol Costales, Projects Director of Factum Arte.
