The Art of Intervention: Rethinking Debates on Freedom of the Arts and its Limits

How does censorship work, and how has it been changing? Based on case studies collected for more than a decade, this presentation situates recent developments in Turkey in the wider European context faced with challenges to free expression under the conditions of the “global war on terror,” mass surveillance and rising right-wing politics.

Banu Karaca, an anthropologist by training, is currently a Mercator-IPC Fellow at the Istanbul Policy Center at Sabanci University. Her publications examine the entrenchment of art in state violence, cultural policy and museum politics, freedom of expression in the arts, the visualization of gendered memories of war and political violence, and visual literacy.

The lecture is followed by an apéritif at the Kunstmuseum Basel Gegenwart.
