Talking Taboos

Talking Taboos returns to The Conduit to speak the unspoken, break the silence, and tackle the topics that truly matter.

Have you ever wondered what people don’t want to talk about? Talking Taboos has uncovered the answers and will unveil the top four taboo topics of 2024 in an evening of honest and courageous conversation at The Conduit. From hidden struggles in mental and physical health to the societal norms that keep us silent, we’ll delve into the subjects we only whisper about and explore what happens when we break the silence and speak openly.

Talking Taboos

We are a charity tackling challenging social issues that are often overlooked because they are seen as ‘taboo’, or not suitable for discussion. Our work combines community, research, design and awareness-raising.

A message from Talking Taboos:

Safeguarding notice
We believe that taboo topics need urgent attention and to be brought into conversation.
However we are very mindful that everyone has different lived experiences of the taboos we will be discussing. We will create a safe and comfortable space but acknowledge that now might not be the right time to engage with these topics for you if you’re going through a difficult time. Closer to the event we will share a bit more detail about what we will be discussing so you can make an informed decision about what is right for you.
