Description
Join us for the annual Free Word Lecture, a flagship event celebrating free expression and the power and politics of words.
Continuing the legacy of the Free Word Centre, this special lecture provides a platform for a leading writer, journalist or thinker to challenge assumptions, illuminate urgent issues and explore how language can shape the world around us.
Following previous speakers including Ben Okri, Rana Ayyub, Secunder Kermani and Lemn Sissay, this year’s lecture invites audiences to consider the transformative and democratising force of words, and why the freedom to write, speak and be heard matters now more than ever.
