To Be Free? Art and the Politics of Liberation
6 Jul 2024 2-5.30pm
Frieze No. 9 Cork Street
London W1S 3LL
Overview
What is the role of art in liberation movements? What happens to culture in the wake of conflict?
This special day of discussions considers how artists have played a role in resisting political oppression around the world, what cultural forms follow historic moments of political change, and how international artistic solidarities continue to shape liberation movements. Join artists, writers, curators and activists as they explore these key issues together.
The programme is inspired by our current exhibition Gavin Jantjes: To Be Free! A Retrospective (1970–2023), which features portrayals of a global Black struggle for freedom as well as work drawing on the artist’s personal experience of and resistance to apartheid in South Africa.
