27/02/2007
The events will provide a platform for examining the diversity and international talent in Britain's creative industries. British Creative Exchange
Museums, galleries and cultural centres across London are to take part in the inaugural British Creative Exchange, celebrating the contribution of international cultural talent to British creative industries.
A series of events will take place in the capital from March 14-18 2007, including debates, question and answer sessions, films and a visual art exhibition, aiming to mix discussion with the promotion of young and established talent.
It plans to provide a platform for the public, industry and creative professionals to discuss the diversity of international cultural talent sustaining the UK’s creative industries.
Tate Modern, BAFTA, Whitechapel Gallery, Cineworld Haymarket and the Empire Studios will be holding events directly developed as part of the British Creative Exchange theme.

The event’s patron is Cesar Charlone, director of photography for hit films like City of God and The Constant Gardener, who will travel from Brazil to highlight issues around promoting overseas creativity. Cesar will also take part in a question and answer session at the BAFTA centre.
Talks at Tate Modern and the Whitechapel Gallery will form a platform for public debate exploring the changing face of UK art galleries, international talent and global audiences along with the contribution of international talent.
An exhibition of architecture, photography, set design, graphic design, dance, animation, technology, music and film will open at La Viande, 3 Charlotte Street, London, on March 16. It involves organisations like the National Portrait Gallery, Channel 4, Sony and the BBC. (Ring 0207-613-0988 for details.)
The events close with a retrospective of Cesar Charlone’s feature films alongside previously unseen works at the Cineworld Haymarket. Short films for independent filmmakers will also be screened.
