Equal parts artist and warrior, George is famous for waging war on war with art, circus, photography and film. ‘Soldiers die for flags. For me it is art,’ he says. ‘Blood Mystic’, chronicles George’s extraordinary life for the first time, including his experiences working with Andy Warhol, dining with Fidel Castro and plotting with Julian Assange. He has been feted by Nelson Mandela, blessed by Mother Theresa, and sneezed on by the Dalai Lama. This is a unique opportunity to hear from Gittoes himself on the adventures that have shaped his career.
