About this Event

Join DABF Guest Curator Adrian Duncan for an introduction to Possible Truths, an hour-long conversation between acclaimed journalists and writers Peter Geoghegan and Susan McKay, followed by a Q&A. What has emergence of new types of technologies in journalism done to the style, form, reference-making, and substance of storytelling in this sphere today? How does truth-making in journalism sit alongside ‘creative’ non-fiction? The conversation will touch on what the governance of 'truth' looks like today in electoral campaigning, and how the rules for ensuring truthful public utterances have become less and less fit for purpose.

Dublin Art Book Fair (DABF) is produced by Temple Bar Gallery + Studios. It is a centre for contemporary artist books offering unique artist publications and titles from creative, small and independent publishers, both Irish and international. Each year, DABF presents an extended programme of events and a curated selection of books nominated by the Guest Curator. Adrian Duncan’s considers different ways stories can be told; the images, spaces, objects, figures, feelings that emerge while doing so; and the sorts of truths they propose.

Peter Geoghegan is an Irish writer, broadcaster and journalist based in the UK. He works for the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project and before that was editor-in-chief at the award-winning website openDemocracy. His journalism has appeared in the New York Times, the Guardian, the London Review of Books and many other publications and his most recent book, Democracy for Sale: Dark Money and Dirty Politics, was a Sunday Times bestseller.

Susan McKay is a writer and award winning journalist. She was appointed as Ireland’s Press Ombudsman in 2022, the first woman to hold the role. McKay was formerly CEO of the National Women’s Council of Ireland, and founded the Belfast Rape Crisis Centre in the 1980s. Her journalism has been published in the London Review of Books, The New York Times, the Irish Times and The Guardian. Her books include Northern Protestants – On Shifting Ground (Blackstaff, 2021), and Bear In Mind These Dead (Faber, 2007).
