About

This event looks at the role of the arts and importance of the artist's voice in the human rights debate. Can storytelling, the written word and other art gestures be regarded as activism, and what can they change and contribute to the human rights movement? The framework of the talk will be definied by Transport's current theatre work, which is connected to notions of migration and related issues.

The event is free and open to the public.
