Video call for presentation of UN special report “The Right to Freedom of Artistic Expression and Creation”

The Working group on Arts, Rights and Justice (ARJ) of the EU Access to Culture Civil Society Platform wants to emphasize on the importance of the UN special report “The Right to Freedom of Artistic Expression and Creation” during a meeting with members of the European Parliament (Human Rights, Culture and other Parliamentary Committees) as well as diverse representatives of the European Commission.

This meeting is scheduled to take place on October 2, 2013 in Brussels. The issues dealt with in the report are censorship (political and religious), safe havens for refugees and at risk artists, access to artistic expression for all minorities, freedom of movement, assembly, and more. 

During the meeting we would like to offer artists the opportunity to make their voice heard - particularly those who are confronted with one or more of these issues in their day-to-day practice, and/or living and working under conditions of restriction or risk.

Therefore ARJ issues a call for 2-minute videos to be sent by 9 September 2013 to video@fundacionyuste.org.

See the complete call as an attachment below.

Please share the call with your mailing list, through your own communication channels and any other contact you think might be relevant!

We will highly appreciate if you could translate this call into your own language, so as to ensure that it reaches as many people as possible! If you're willing to make translations, please let us know - we can inform the other Res Artis and ARJ members so as to avoid duplications.
