From masks to faces in art, in this illustrated talk, speaker and novelist Dr Justin Newland explores the magic and mystery of the face.

I’m an author of six historical fiction novels, with a seventh due out in 2026. From the research for the books, I’ve written a number of talks about the different historical periods in which they are set. As well as generic talks about history, I’ve developed some general interest talks, talks on Ancient Egypt, and some on writing, researching and publishing. I currently have 17 talks.
