This session will offer information on how to navigate legal challenges related to artistic freedom by exploring some guidelines that can be applied to varied contexts. Alexander Gorski - a Germany-based legal expert who specialises in supporting cultural workers and artists who are facing legal repression - will be leading the session in conversation with Palestinian political philosopher, writer and activist Yasmeen Daher, who is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Potsdam, and part of the International Research Group on Authoritarianism and Counter-Strategies at the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences.

Their conversation will weave legal strategies with political thought and personal experience to confront the mechanisms of censorship and the internal pressures of self-censorship. Participants will be able to share their questions.

Speakers:  
Alexander Gorski, lawyer, Germany
Yasmeen Daher, political philosopher, Palestine/Germany
