Birds’ Eye View: Triggered! Empowering Tools Live Stream Channel 1 Wednesday 3 November | 15.00-16.00

A powerhouse panel tackling a thorny topic with myriad aspects and facets. We all have to now find ways to negotiate tricky conversations – activating content, problematic feedback and inappropriate representations, signalling to others (and admitting to ourselves) when and how we are triggered, even when we least expect it. This large-scale conversation with British Black List founder Akua Gyamfi and Women & Hollywood founder Melissa Silverstein will be chaired by Birds’ Eye View director Melanie Iredale, They will discuss the tools of navigation and recognition and how we find space for addressing the effects of trauma.
