Title: Art Under Pressure: Censorship and Persecution of Artists
When: December 13, 2024, 19:00
Where: Grusha Georgia (33 Metallurgiv Ave, Kryvyi Rih)

Cultural Friday is a networking format where representatives of culture, creative industries, and engaged citizens can come together to discuss pressing issues. The upcoming meeting will focus on the challenges to freedom of creativity and art under political pressure and persecution.

During the discussion, we will cover:
● How artists face restrictions on freedom of expression and control over their creativity;● Examples of repression, including physical and psychological pressure on creative professionals;● The role of art in preserving identity and freedom under occupation;● How the international artistic community can contribute to protecting freedom of speech and creativity.

We invite participants to share their stories, express support, find like-minded individuals, and initiate new partnerships to defend artists' rights. The event will also be valuable for artists, activists, and human rights defenders, as well as anyone who believes in freedom of creativity and wishes to support artists.

Kryvyi Rih Cultural Centre / KRCC is a civic initiative aimed at developing culture, art, and creative industries in Kryvyi Rih. The center’s mission is to enhance the cultural potential of the city by creating a stimulating environment for creative industries through the activities of KRCC.
