A couple of highlights in a busy programme, include:

Elisa Iannacone: Cinematography Trauma and Resilience. Elisa will 
discuss her remarkable career and examine her amazing career highlights. 
Elisa Iannacone is an artist, journalist, and cinematographer. She is 
well known for her work across human rights spaces and news. However, 
her recent photographic practices have seen her explore the magical 
realms of children's imagination. Elisa is the recipient of the Alfred 
Fried Peace Medal (2024), a Nobel Peace Prize Legacy recognition, 
awarded in partnership with the Austrian Parliament and UNESCO. She is 
the winner of the Global Peace Photo Award for both Series and Photo of 
the Year ('24-'25), and her work is displayed in the Austrian Parliament 
and South African Constitutional Court's Permanent Museum Collections. 
As an experienced journalist and cinematographer, she has developed a 
personal voice that combines journalistic interviews with magical 
realism, to address current affairs in a unique and impactful way. By 
delving deep into personal narratives and global events, she captures 
the essence of trauma and resilience, transforming raw interviews into 
compelling artistic expressions. Through her innovative approach, Elisa 
uses art not only to approach critical issues, but to explore the 
emotional and psychological layers of these stories, offering audiences 
a profound and immersive understanding of the subjects she covers. 11am 
to 12pm - Marconi Lecture Theatre, Kimmeridge House.
