Vienna Master of Arts in Applied Human Rights
Online panel discussion
in
Zoom and
Facebook
moderated by Marilyn Volkman ENTRE Gallery & University of Applied Arts. Event will be held in English with Q&A chat
in English and Spanish
Since the issuance of Decree 349 in 2018, the Cuban government has declared the
authority to decide who can and cannot make art, precipitating one of the most vigorous protest movements on the island since
the revolution.
Critical issues of censorship in Cuba bring artists and
curators together with human rights experts to discuss the shrinking space for artistic freedom on the island. Taking Decree
349 as a starting point, the panel will focus on the legal frameworks for expression, artist-led movements for artistic freedom
in Cuba, and the danger of imprisonment for those who participate. The discussion will also explore strategies for securing
artistic freedom
within and outside Cuba, and the needs of Cuban artists as they continue the fight for human rights
on the ground.
