About
‘Picture This,’ is a new series of conversations, hosted by journalist and presenter of the BBC’s 'This Cultural Life', John Wilson. Special guests from a wide variety of fields, including fashion, music, literature and film, will join John to reflect on their life and work through the lens of a National Gallery painting.
This May, we are joined by distinguished actor, documentary maker and author David Harewood.
Known for his roles in 'Homeland', 'Supergirl' and 'Blood Diamond', and for starring in 'The Man in the High Castle' and 'Ten Percent', David is an internationally esteemed actor who can also be seen in the BBC’s 'Sherwood' and 'The Night Manager'.
As a documentary maker, David’s works include 'Black is the New Black', 'Will Britain Ever Have a Black Prime Minister?' and 'Why is Covid Killing People of Colour?'
In 2019, he released 'David Harewood: Psychosis and Me' and wrote his first book 'Maybe I Don’t Belong Here: A Memoir of Race, Identity, Breakdown and Recovery' which was published in 2021.
His latest documentary, 'Get On Up: The Triumph of Black America', is a two-part series exploring the true stories of incredible artists who shaped his life, and the influence of Black culture on the world.
David was appointed OBE in 2023 for his services to drama and is President of The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
