ICCL: The Best Banned in the Land, A Forum on Artistic Freedom of Expression – 30 April

Date: 30 April 2019

Time: 11am-4pm

Venue: Project Arts Centre

Brendan Behan said it best: the finest Irish writers were all banned sometime. From James Joyce to Edna O’Brien, none escaped the censors’ wrath.

The ordered removal of Maser’s Repeal the 8th mural has brought censorship to the fore once again. Is freedom of artistic expression being limited in Ireland? Are issues such as funding, promotion, social media restrictions and discrimination creating conditions for self-censorship?

Join a host of artists and activists remember and examine the role of censorship. Guests include Be Aware Theatre Company, Lian Bell, Donal Fallon, Declan Long, Una Mullally, and more to be announced.

A light lunch will be provided.

Pricing: Please consider selecting a €5 ticket to help support the work of ICCL and this important event.
