About Culture as Security: How Culture Protects Us

An evening of conversation exploring the ways in which culture protects, provokes and sustains societies. Together with a distinguished panel of speakers we will examine the role of culture in national security, the ways in which cultural narratives strengthen resilience, civic identity and democracy, and what it means when culture itself comes under attack.
Speakers to be announced shortly.
