A workshop on censorship of artistic expression by Seçil Yaylalı & belit sağ
Join us for a workshop exploring different forms of censorship. The workshop builds a discussion drawn from participants’ personal experiences of silencing in order to develop methods on how to collectively resist.
The workshop is focused on those working in the arts and culture with experience in the field.
There is no age limit. The workshop will be held in English. The workshop is free but booking required. If you would like to join please email osa@marabouparken.se before 13th September and send a short text (maximum half an A4 page) detailing your motivation and area of work.
