Ece Temelkuran: Could you become a refugee?

Do you think you are safe? Might you be forced to flee your home? Could you become a refugee? Or is that something that happens to other people?

Ece Temelkuran is a brilliant political thinker who's work explores the intersection between the personal and the political. In her latest book, Nation of Strangers, she speaks directly to those who believe forced migration could never happen to them.

Across the world the number of dispossessed and displaced, the politically homeless and the economically excluded is growing. In the decade since she left her own home, Ece Temelkuran has been a political Cassandra, warning those convinced it couldn’t happen in their country that fascism is coming.

Join us as we dive into Ece's extraordinary thoughts at this very uncertain time. This is an evening for anyone who feels alienated by an ever-more monstrous world. Throughout the night we will remember that as we all become strangers, our home will depend on the strength we find with one another.
