Topical event

There has perhaps never been a more important time to talk about the concept of truth – what is real and what is not. But truth is far from black and white – even in scientific settings. And in philosophy, truth is an even more complex concept.

So where does this leave the notion of “truth” in art? Does it mean anything at all? Join this lecture to discover how art speaks truth.

This event is one of ten personal development lectures hosted by the Alumni Progress Club.
