Drawing on his experience at the front lines of reconciliation in Ireland and beyond, on poetry, and on his theological reflection, Pádraig Ó Tuama weaves stories of power and reconciliation to inspire creative new practices for life in an unsettled world.
“The Complicated Art of Reconciliation” is the second of two lectures delivered by Pádraig Ó Tuama as the St John’s Visiting Scholar at Victoria University of Wellington for 2020.
