The Koppel Project | In Conversation: Baroness Helena Kennedy

The Koppel Project is privileged to be welcoming leading barrister and expert in human rights and civil liberties Baroness Helena Kennedy, for a presentation about her life and work followed by a discussion with artists from our forthcoming group exhibition ‘Refuse: Refuge: Re-fuse’. The event will take place during Refugee Week, in association with Counterpoint Arts, aimed at engaging with refugee and migrant experiences through arts and cultural programmes.

Baroness Kennedy’s work as a lawyer and public figure ranges across an extraordinary range of issues and fields. She has received honours for her work on human rights from the governments of France and Italy, and has been awarded more than thirty honorary doctorates. In Helena’s practice of law as a barrister, she has acted in many of the most prominent cases of the last 30 years, including the Brighton Bombing, the Michael Bettany espionage trial, the Guildford Four appeal and the bombing of the Israeli embassy.
