Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe - 'Dealing With the Reality of Imprisonment'

St John’s Church, Waterloo, Waterloo Road London SE1 8TY

 

Sewing treasured pieces of fabric helped Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe survive her Iranian prison ordeal. Renowned journalist Cathy Newman (Channel 4 news) will lead a conversation with Nazanin about the coping with the challenges of imprisonment - both in prison and after release. This will be followed by a Q & A including a Fine Cell Work stitcher, Victoria Gillies, Executive Director of Fine Cell Work, and Richard Ratcliffe.

 

The event will include an exhibition of photographs by Laurence Ellis featured in the latest edition of More or Less magazine - the first international magazine to prioritise sustainability in the fashion industry featuring world class photographers, stylists and designers.
