The End of the World?
Join us for a conversation about the apocalypse, with Dubai-based printmaker and author Darrel Perkins
Pandemic, AI, climate change, war. Recent years have revived a sense of doom and fear for the future. Are humans on an irreversible path to destroying themselves, or even the entire planet? Or have we always been imagining different the ways the world could end….and it still hasn’t.
To help answer all this, we’ll be talking to Dubai-based author and printmaker Darrel Perkins, whose fascinating book, The End is At Hand, profiles the doomsday scenarios that different civilisations have envisaged, from plagues, angry gods and comets, to the Cold War and robots.
Join us for a conversation on the apocalypse, with a short introduction by the speaker, a Q&A and open discussion.
