Please join us for the launch of the Truth Tellers project and art exhibition on Wednesday 1 May at the Exchange space in Bush House. We will be hosting a wine reception and brief discussion with the the project participants, scholars Pablo de Orellana and Christiana Spens and artists Tom de Freston and Mariah Whelan, which will identify the advances made in the project, findings, and how we see the project going forward in the near future.

The Truth Tellers project is a collaboration between painter Tom de Freston, poet Mariah Whelan and international relations scholars Drs. Christiana Spens (St Andrews) and Pablo de Orellana (KCL). Funded by the Faculty of Social Sciences at King’s College London as a pilot for a larger research project, Truth Tellers explores how sense was made of the collective trauma of the 2017 Manchester Arena attacks by developing new Art-IR analytical methods that combine creative practices and international relations methods to recover and explore the aesthetic codes of trauma, community and identity.
