Save this date! We’re thrilled to announce a special evening with the incredible Giles Duley, one of the most significant photographers and storytellers of our time.

Giles’ photography captures the human side of war, focusing on the lives of everyday people affected by conflict. After losing both legs and his left arm to an IED in Afghanistan, Giles’ unique perspective allows him to share deeply personal and intimate stories of resilience and survival.

The loss of these limbs gave him greater insight and empathy into people’s suffering and put him in a better position to tell their stories. As he said, ‘Because that’s all I am, a storyteller.’

His work avoids the typical images of violence, instead it showcases quiet moments like a grandmother brushing a granddaughter’s hair, a mother feeding her baby, a father on the floor doing lessons with his children.

Founder of the Legacy of War Foundation, Giles has dedicated his life to supporting communities in war-torn regions like Syria, Ukraine, and Rwanda. His work challenges the media’s focus on political outcomes, instead highlighting the lasting human impact of war and the strength of those who rebuild after conflict.

Giles’ said of his work: ‘I always try to eat with families and communities before I take photographs, it’s how I connect, through that greatest of storytellers. Food is the antithesis of war. Where war is about breaking apart communities and families, food is about bringing them together. In food I find my peace.’

This promises to be a powerful and unforgettable evening. Be sure to get your tickets when they are released—they’re bound to go fast!
