Human rights organisations and campaigns often seek to raise awareness through community engagement with art. The artist here plays a special role, working as a mediator between the powerless and the powerful, raising awareness, promoting issues and circulating information across the globe. Yet, what happens when they themselves become the targets of human rights abuses? What are the common issues surrounding artistic oppression across the globe? What options are available for these artists? Who supports them? How can we help? This forum engages with the cultural politics of extreme governmental responses towards creative expression.
