How are individuals and communities affected by terror attacks? What forms can resilience take? When does trauma divide and when can it unite? Do we live in an age of terror?
Conflict Café: Life After Terror, is a unique opportunity to join invited guests and eyewitnesses in conversations about terrorism, resilience and how people move past trauma. Hear personal stories of those affected by recent national and international terrorist attacks, including 9/11, 7/7 and 2017’s London Bridge attacks.
Meet, listen, ask questions and take part in discussions with eyewitnesses including Janice Brooks, who was working on the 84th floor of the World Trade Center’s South Tower on the morning of 11 September 2001; Thelma Stober and Sudhesh Dahad, survivors of the London Bombings on 7 July 2005; and Geoff Ho, who was injured when he found himself in the midst of 2017’s London Bridge attack.
Other speakers will include: Liam Duffy, Director of the UK Charity SINCE 9/11, an educational charity seeking to teach younger generations about the 9/11 attacks and how terrorism affects us all today; Dr Charlotte Heath-Kelly, senior lecturer in Politics at the University of Warwick, whose research explores memorialisation in the War on Terror; and Jo Dover, who works in the field of conflict resolution, resilience and support for people affected by conflict, war and terrorism. Representatives from The Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Peace Foundation’s Survivors Assistance Network and Survivors Against Terror will also be present.
This event is part of the Age of Terror: Art since 9/11 season of exhibitions, performances and events at IWM London.
