Is artistic freedom of expression under more intense pressure now than before? And when do employers consider a statement to be disloyal?

The seminar will take its point of departure in the concept of ‘crisis’, which is this year’s topic in the Fritt Ord Foundation Competition for Upper Secondary School. The climate crisis, political crises and individual crises – all are examples of the uncertainty and unrest that characterise our times.
