ADVANCE TICKETS AVAILABLE AT EVENTBRITE NOW!
This event will take place in the Tusk Room, The Walrus Pub, Ship St, Brighton.

Across much of the world, democracy is no longer simply fraying at the edges - it is suffering an epistemic collapse.
What we are experiencing is not just a political crisis, but a deeper breakdown in the basic conditions that allow societies to establish truth, debate what matters, and hold the powerful to account. Join Eliot Higgins, founder of Bellingcat, a pioneering investigative collective known for its groundbreaking work in online open-source investigation into war crimes, corruption, and propaganda. From satellite images to social media posts, learn how Bellingcat pieces together real-world stories from data hidden in plain sight. Don’t miss this behind-the-scenes look at how investigative journalism is fighting back against authoritarianism — one verified fact at a time.

Eliot Higgins will be ‘In Conversation’ with Rob Dickinson, and he will also be signing copies of his bestselling book, We Are Bellingcat, which will be available to purchase on the night.
This event take place downstairs in the Tusk Room at the Walrus Pub, Ship Street. Unfortunately there is no wheelchair accessibility.
