Art and the Politics of Resistance

This is a free event, but registration is required.

In our age of increased censorship both online and in public policies, does art have the power to catalyze meaningful social change? Or will it fall victim to the repression it seeks to resist? Join four artists and curators from different cultural contexts spanning from Ukraine to China as they discuss the interconnectedness of art and social activism.
Lesia Khomenko (Ukraine/US), Rudy Loewe (UK), Dan Perjovschi (Romania/US), and Xiaoyu Weng (China/US) will explore the challenges artists face as socially-engaged and political actors and the impact that artistic creation has on global social movements.

Presented by 'Artists at Risk Connection' and 'Art at a Time Like This.'

Dangerous Art, Endangered Artists is an event series featuring interdisciplinary discussions to highlight the challenges of censorship faced by artists around the world and foster unity within the artistic community in defense of artistic freedom and human rights.
