Why

Who is silenced, and who can speak? What are the mechanisms that decide which stories are told? In the face of the cancellations of events and awards, the arts landscape has been deeply altered. So how do writers respond when their work is challenged or suppressed, and what is the role of arts organisations to defend creative freedom? Jeanine Leane, Micaela Sahhar and Joelistics reflect on the real impacts of censorship and self-censorship, and explore the literary courage it takes to resist the forces that police words.

Tickets available from NT Writers Festival.
