Important announcement for ticket holders
Important announcement for ticket holders
We have been informed this morning that due to a fall last night, Tariq Ali is unable to attend tonight’s event in person.
The activist and academic Tom Hickey will be joining us for the evening and Tariq Ali is now planned to appear via video link. Tom Hickey has written a pamphlet on the film FREEDOM which will be available tonight.
The event will go ahead and also includes a free drinks reception, private viewings of our two new exhibitions and Dr Ben Houston’s talk with Charlene Foggie-Barnett.
We apologise for any disappointment caused and hope you will understand that this change to the advertised programme has been beyond our control.
