Speaker: Martin Firrell is a public artist who has gently and consistently sought to humanise the times we live in. He uses the poster form to campaign for greater social equality. His bold and simple texts address LGBT+ equality, the women’s movement, feminism and gender equality; and universal human rights. The artist's aim is 'to make the world more humane'. For more than 25 years, Firrell has hijacked advertising’s means to achieve artistic-activist ends. His co-opting of commercial technique and syntax, together with his sustained and wholesale colonisation of advertising’s oldest and boldest medium, the billboard, makes him one of the most apposite and significant artists of the 21st Century.

This lecture explores the legal lessons Professor Stafford-Smith learned from visiting Afghanistan. He argues critical Western rhetoric betrays the country’s liberal majority (80% of its population and leadership), drawing parallels to U.S. involvement in other drawn-out conflicts. He asks: what positives do we see in Afghanistan? What legal lessons should we learn from it, about how we can best support those who share our values? How can we create a world that upholds individual rights and the rule of law?
