“Offend, Shock or Disturb” - How ‘Free’ is Artistic Freedom? Guests: Andra Matei Art Law and Free Speech Lawyer, Director at Avant-Garde Lawyers. Avant-Garde Lawyers (AGL) Federica Erilmi Case officer at Avant-Garde Layers This year, Documenta 15 has witnessed great criticism and controversy over artistic expression deemed as antisemetic. This has raised several important questions about artistic intention, impact of artistic expression on communities as well as cultural contextualisation of artwork. Using this incident as a starting point, AGL Director Andra Matei and Case Officer Federica Erilmi will outline the nuances relating to restrictions of artistic freedom and explore contexts where censorship of art ‘may’ be permitted. They will draw from their experience and expertise of working on censorship across the world and share a balanced, holistic view of the subject.
