Kairos at How the Light Gets In with Roger Hallam

Saturday September 20th
How The Light Gets In, Kenwood, London
Inner Circle tent
5 for 5.30pm

Join us for a special Kairos-hosted salon at the How The Light Gets In festival, London: an evening of radical conversation on civil resistance, collapse, and moral responsibility with Roger Hallam.

This is a second opportunity to take part in Roger's interactive talk “On Being, In Prison”, following his appearance at Kairos Tottenham Court Road last week.

Roger Hallam, described by The New Statesman as the 34th most influential progressive person in the UK, has been behind some of the world's most influential social movements. He has just been released from prison after receiving the longest sentence ever for nonviolent action.

Roger will speak about his experience in prison from three perspectives: materialism ("it is what it is"), postmodernism ("you just can't say"), and religion ("glory be to God"). He will argue that unlearning how we look at ourselves and the world will be our central political, cultural, and spiritual challenge as extreme ruptures tear away our defences and repressions.

Roger's talk will be followed by a break for a vegan supper. Together we will then discuss what it means to act in the face of ecological breakdown and how collective courage might still shape the future.
