The Beauty of Titanic Belfast + the Ethics of Memorializing Titanic, with Pablo O'Hana

Join me for a candid and invigorating conversation with Pablo O’Hana, who began his career working at Titanic Belfast and has since become a leading publicist and activist in the UK. With a track record of political and public sector campaigns that inspire debate and shift opinion, he has worked to elect America’s first-ever woman of color to state-wide office, legalize abortion in Ireland, transform the UK’s road safety record and on every British election since 2014. He also worked alongside some of the country’s most senior public figures, political party leaders and Britain's most acclaimed talents. He is also  an expert on the (often wild) story of Titanic’s artifacts and we engage in a lively and healthy debate about the ethics behind memorializing the ship and its passengers.
