Swiss Censorship in the Arts
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on censorship in the arts in Switzerland. Speaking guest will be Gabriele Sartoris. Despite being a country with a strong tradition of free expression, Switzerland has seen its share of controversies over art. From cancelled theatre productions to closed photography exhibitions, censorship in the arts has become a hot-button issue in Switzerland. During this talk, we will explore the history of censorship in the arts in Switzerland, its impact on artistic expression, and how artists and institutions can navigate the complex terrain of artistic censorship in Switzerland. This talk is a must-attend event for anyone interested in the intersection of art, politics, and free expression.
