Professor Ibrahim Abubakar is the Director of the Institute for Global Health and Professor in Infectious Disease Epidemiology at UCL. He will be interviewed by Times columnist Daniel Finkelstein, who will be asking Ibrahim for his unique insights into how COVID-19 is playing out for vulnerable groups in the UK and globally, where the north/south divide is particularly pertinent to the work we are doing in South Africa 

We will also hear from Khululwa Jampo, our nurse coordinator on the frontline in South Africa, where isolation has been difficult and communities are suffering from shortages of food and medication.

Nadia Berri, the artist and art educator, who led our two recent walking tours, will now be delivering a series of inspiring online talks on contemporary art, each accompanied by virtual visits to London galleries.

Her first talk will cover the 20th century, the movements and tendencies. Future ones will examine Dada, 1945 to 1960, Neo-Dada + Pop, The Sixties, The Seventies and the Eighties, and Performance Art – Now and Then. The first of these will be on 20 June and 11 July. Please note these talks will be interactive, so you will be able to ask Nadia questions.

We very much hope you will join us in this new format, which promises to be a programme of rich and stimulating content.

TICKET PRICE £50 (Suggested minimum donation towards our ART programmes)

A link to the Zoom meeting will be sent to you at 10:30am on the day.

Baroness Helena Kennedy QC is one of Britain's most distinguished lawyers, championing civil liberties and promoting human rights.  Helena is the current Director of the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute.

Times columnist Daniel Finkelstein will be asking Helena about how Covid-19 is encroaching on individual freedom and the rule of law in the UK and globally – again, particularly pertinent to the work we are doing in South Africa – where the lockdown is being enforced in a draconian manner.
