The Freedom Talks series is focused on issues regarding threats towards artistic freedom, free press and intangible heritage. It is closely connected to the annual global Safe Havens conference. Guests in the Freedom Talks series are highly knowledgeable and prolific actors in the global Arts Rights Justice sector – fighting for artistic freedom.
In this series, topics such as the role of artists during the Arab Revolutions and afterwards, the effects of Covid-19 on press freedom globally, the Uyghur situation in China and censorship issues in arts and culture in Southeast Asia, and a wide range of related topics are covered by the speakers. The Freedom Talks aim to share space and broaden the narrative of who can take centre stage by sharing the brand to different organisations within the sector. The project strives to reach the Safe Havens network globally, where people and organisations can make a difference. By letting regional organisations around the world share the ownership, new target groups are reached geographically both for the dissemination of knowledge and to widen the Safe Havens network and its shared knowledge.
The talks are presented in – or translated to – English. The talks were funded by the Swedish Institute (SI) in 2021 and 2022. The recordings can be watched through SH|FT’s website and its partner, Howlround, where previous events are also archived.
