An afternoon and evening of talks hosted with Concern Worldwide, in tandem with the exhibition Brian Maguire: La Grande Illusion.

Admission Free, Book in advance

Join us for an afternoon and evening of talks hosted with Concern Worldwide, in tandem with the exhibition Brian Maguire: La Grande Illusion. In 2018, Maguire travelled with Concern to South Sudan to witness first-hand the impact of conflict and displacement on affected communities. His subsequent Humanity: Site Unseen exhibition shed light on a crisis often overlooked by the media.

As our world becomes increasingly unstable, hidden crises and the suffering of marginalized populations are frequently ignored. Our panellists will offer diverse perspectives on contemporary conflict, the silenced experiences of affected communities, and the urgent need for advocacy and peacebuilding in a fractured global society.

The panellists:

Monica McWilliams; academic, peace activist and former politician
Brian Maguire; artist,
Dominic MacSorley; former CEO and current Humanitarian ambassador, Concern Worldwide
Abdi Rashid Haji Nur; former Country Director for Somalia, Concern Worldwide

Chairperson:
Réiseal Ní Chéilleachair; Head of International Advocacy, Concern Worldwide

Free, book on Eventbrite or come on the day subject to availability.
