I am working as an oral historian with the University of the Arts, London (UAL), conducting a series of film interviews to document the Institution’s history.
The first interview was with Neil Fletcher who was a key player in the establishment of the London Institute, which became the University of the Arts, London in 2003. Fletcher gave a fascinating account of his involvement in the radical merger of seven independent art colleges across London in 1985 under the umbrella of the London Institute in the face of fierce opposition. He discussed the London Institute’s initial vision, the development of the Institute, its importance in his own life, and his pride in having played a part in the success of the University of Arts, London today.
