Index on Censorship is delighted to announce the third in a series of online conversations about artistic freedom of expression in Wales.
This conversation forms part of our ArtFreedomWales programme looking at how artistic freedom is regarded, debated and promoted across the arts sector in Wales – in the press, by artists, by the public, by funders and policy makers.
Young Artists in Wales – opportunities and obstacles to expression?
Online conversation with:
- Chelsey Gillard – Critic
- Sian Rowlands – Dancer
- Elgan Rhys – Actor & Writer
- Cerian Wilshere-Davies – Mess up the Mess Youth Theatre Group
- Melody Patry – Senior Advocacy Officer, Index on Censorship
When: November 3rd 14.00
Where: Take part in the Google Hangout here
What are the issues in Wales? What are the opportunities? What are the obstacles? What has the right to freedom of expression got to do with Wales’ major cultural debates and policies: bi-lingualism, engaging young people and ethnically diverse voices, tackling poverty, maximising on new cultural infrastructure, having an international voice?
We want to hear from everyone producing and participating in the arts in Wales who has something to say about freedom of expression. You will be able to email and tweet questions to the panel during the discussion.
This is the third of four events on artistic freedom of expression in Wales that we are live-streaming, leading up to a national symposium – a Free Speech Hearing for Wales – at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff (27th November).
The first online conversation featuring leading artists from across Wales and the second online hangout which took place in Welsh are both available to watch here.
