Panel Discussion

Protest comes in many forms and art, as a form of protest, can be used to raise awareness, show and encourage solidarity, and criticise government. With our strong artistic and cultural lineage, artists in Ireland are at the heart of many protest movements. This panel discussion titled ‘Art as Project: How the Arts Can Advance Human Rights ‘will explore the links between protest, solidarity and the arts. It will bring together artists, activists, academics, and individuals to see how they are working towards a common aim.  In addition to the panel discussion with artists and activists, the evening will feature a short training session on your rights when protesting. The panel discussion is presented by the Irish Council for Civil Liberties and takes place on Thursday 17 October from 6.30 to 8.30 pm at Hen’s Teeth, Dublin 8.
