Programme: ALL THAT IS BANNED IS DESIRED

23. november 2012

Welcome to the first world conference on artistic freedom of expression, ALL THAT IS BANNED IS DESIRED. Over the two days of the conference, more than 50 artists and individuals involved in the arts will address vital and complex issues concerning artists’ freedom of expression.

Artists will share both their experiences of censorship and the many strategies developed to claim, defend and advance their freedoms as well as the freedoms of other artists and those who wish to experience the art they create.

This conference is the beginning of a concerted effort to enhance the monitoring of and defense against violations of artists’ freedom of expression worldwide.

Venue: The Norwegian National Opera & Ballet, Stage 2, 25 and 26 October 2012. Organizers: Fritt Ord and Freemuse.

In collaboration with the ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS of Hamburg, the Fritt Ord Foundation has allocated the Free Media Awards – Supporting Independent Journalism in Eastern Europe – annually since 2004 to Eastern European journalists and media that defy every obstacle to tirelessly ensure independent press coverage. Russia’s war against Ukraine and the subsequent wave of disinformation clearly demonstrates the need for independent reporting in the region. Journalist, editorial teams and media companies in and from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Russia, Ukraine and Hungary who make a contribution to press freedom through their investigative, independent reporting can be nominated for the Free Media Awards.
