Vicar Street to host Chelsea Manning: In Conversation

Singular Artists have announced that Chelsea Manning: In Conversation is coming to Dublin's Vicar Street on Saturday, July 8th 2023.

The whistleblower, activist, aspiring politician, author, transparency activist, public speaker and security consultant altered the course of history, as described in her 2022 memoir README.txt.

The intelligence analyst’s leak of horrifying 2007 footage of US soldiers murdering Iraqi people - titled 'Collateral Murder' - in Baghdad, triggered her arrest, court martial and, in 2013, 35-year jail sentence. Her sentence was commuted in 2017 by Barack Obama in one of his last presidential gestures.

After jail, Manning went on to stand for the Senate, became a transparency activist and Guardian columnist, and now lives in Brooklyn, working as a security consultant and data science expert.

The technologist and network security analyst's actions showed the world that the conscience of individuals can make urgent change through bravery and determination.

Manning lectures to draw attention to the social, technological, and economic ramifications of artificial intelligence, and on the practical applications of machine learning. She is also a vocal advocate for government transparency and queer and transgender rights on social media and in The New York Times columns.

Tickets for her Vicar Street show go on sale this Friday, May 26th at 10am.
