SUMMARY:Hope\, creativity & resilience: an evening with Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
DESCRIPTION:A hosted talk about the power of creativity and its relationship to hope and resilience \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a special evening of discussion with Iranian-British dual citizen\, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe. Wrongfully imprisoned for almost six years in Iran\, Nazanin made international headlines as a pawn in a feud between her two nation states. Both she and her husband\, Richard Ratcliffe\, went on hunger strikes for her freedom. \nThis intimate event takes place at the Centrespace Gallery in Bristol\, where artist Niki Groom will be exhibiting her reportage work. Including Love is a doing word (2022)\, a hand-painted depiction of Richard’s hunger strike outside the Foreign Office. \nDuring her years in detention\, Nazanin found solace through sewing with her fellow female prisoners\, using fabric Richard sent from Liberty of London. This evening is a chance to hear from Nazanin in her own words\, and to explore the dynamic between creativity\, hope and resilience. \nCheck back soon for full programme details\, including other speakers. Please note timings may change slightly. Tickets are limited – book now to secure your place. \n(We have a small number of tickets available free of charge to asylum seekers\, refugees or those who cannot afford to pay.
