Friends,
In this deeply personal episode, my friend – journalist, artist, and organizer, Una Mullally – and I look at how proximity to death and collapse in our own lives can renew our commitment to and understanding of truth. It’s especially important now, with the sense of claustrophobia and the real world deaths happening on the screens in front of our eyes. How do we see the image of death, feel the presence of violence against others, and bring that into a project of renewal?

This is, in a way, a partner episode to my upcoming event with Una, Srećko Horvat, and Mark O’Connell, THE BEGINNING IS NEAR which is an immersive discussion on apocalypse and renewal happening in Dublin AND online. The in-person tickets are basically dold out, but you can still by streaming tickets and be a part of it, as well as watch a recording after if you’d like.

BUY TICKETS HERE ONLINE STREAMING TICKETS are only €15 or about $16.00.

Enjoy the episode friend, and come to the event!

Best,
CH
