The Fear by Christiana Spens – Book Launch

16 March 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 11:30 pm

Free

 

What is The Fear? What are we afraid of and why? And how does fearfulness shape our personalities, relationships and very society?

Part autobiography, and part philosophical reflection, The Fear seeks to answer these questions by demonstrating how the wounds we carry continue to make their journey through us, until they’re brought to consciousness through art, writing and conversation. Exploring subjects ranging from political violence to psychological abuse, and  from motherhood to art practice, The Fear seeks to find ways to understand and heal from the threats of the world around us, building resilience and camaraderie in doing so.

 

Christiana Spens is a writer and artist now living in London. She is the author of Shooting Hipsters (Repeater Books) and The Portrayal and Punishment of Terrorists in Western Media: Playing the Villain (Palgrave Macmillan), and she holds a PhD in International Relations from the University of St Andrews.
