This event starts at 6pm
Join us with author Lyndsey Stonebridge to celebrate the launch of two publications dedicated to famous historian and philosopher, Hannah Arendt, one most influential political theorists of the 20th century: On Hannah Arendt: Eight Proposals for Exhibition (Richard Saltoun Gallery; 2023) and We are Free to Change the World: Hannah Arendt’s Lessons in Love and Disobedience (Jonathan Cape, UK; The Hogarth Press, USA; 2024).
