About
Julia Farrington | 11th November | 7-8.30pm
Julia Farrington will discuss self-censorship in the arts – the legal, social and political constraints on freedom of expression in the UK.
Julia runs Index on Censorship’s ongoing programme looking at how artistic freedom of expression is supported, undermined, reported and defended in the UK. The programme came out of a case study of Gurpreet Bhatti’s play ‘Behud’ which was her imaginative response to the experience of her previous play Behzti being cancelled by Birmingham Rep when hostile demonstrations against the play outside the theatre turned violent. The themes that arose from this focussed on the kind of support an artist needs to present challenging, potentially divisive work – the artist is not operating in a vacuum, but requires producers and venues to be willing to take risks too.
