REMEMBRANCE LECTURE – Bearing Witness to those who Bear Witness

Hosted by: Suzanne Steele (Official Canadian War Artist; poet)

Please Note: This Lecture has had to be moved again and will take place on Wednesday 19th November at 7.30pm, and not 3rd or 30th. Apologies for this, which is owing to personal circumstances.

Suzanne Steele is researching for a PhD in World War I literature in the Department of English at the University of Exeter.  She was the first poet to be official Canadian war artist (2008-2010), travelling with Canada’s troops to Afghanistan.  She is an international speaker, award-winning and globally-acclaimed poet, librettist (Afghanistan: Requiem for a Generation) and video installation artist.  Suzanne lectures on bearing witness to those who witness in the field of war.
