Fri 26 Jun: George Butler - War Artist
Illustrator and artist-reporter George Butler reports from conflict zones, climate hotspots and humanitarian crises, using pen, ink and watercolour to tell deeply human stories that go beyond the headlines.
In an age of Generative AI and relentless digital news, artist and reporter George offers a powerful alternative: slowing down to truly see.
Through hand-drawn reportage from Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, Angola, and Gaza, George shares extraordinary human stories that never reached the front pages — stories that bring depth, context, and empathy to most significant events of this century.
This visually rich, thought-provoking talk challenges audiences to look beyond headlines and photography, and to view the world through an artist’s eyes: with empathy, compassion, and creativity.
