Fireside Chat with Gemunu De Silva & John Robb

This fireside chat explores how culture, creativity and punk ethics can amplify undercover investigations and reach audiences beyond traditional campaigning. Drawing on four decades of investigative work and Industry Standard, a vinyl album built from covert field recordings, it reflects on why cultural resistance matters alongside evidence, policy and campaigns.
