SWF Within Reach Gala: Ceridwen Dovey

“Some might say that it’s still better to send an imperfect message to the future than nothing at all, but what we choose to memorialise is as political and flawed as what we choose to forget.” – Ceridwen Dovey

For our 2021 Festival, an all-star line-up of guests came together to deliver a speech on the Festival theme, Within Reach. Speakers celebrated the power of writing to generate empathy, imagination and action.

In this stellar highlight, social anthropologist and author Ceridwen Dovey discusses NASA’s Golden Record and the warped legacy of what we choose to remember.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
