About

Contemporary Art Stavanger consists of an online art journal as well as a physical residency program for critics, writers and researchers. Through our work, we aim to contribute meaningful conversation relevant to the Stavanger region’s art scene, while at the same time connecting the content to a larger national and international discourse – we therefore publish in both Norwegian and English. In addition to reviews, essays, and interviews, we explore the expansive possibilities of CAS’ online platform and investigate different ways of working with writers, residencies, and the format of art writing and criticism. We at CAS are dedicated to presenting a wide range of perspectives, voices, and subject matter. Read more

BRAVE : Nuart x Amnesty International Panel Debate

September 2, 2017 @11:00 - 11:40 CEST Event

About

BRAVE : NUART x AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL PANEL DEBATE
SATURDAY 02 SEPTEMBER, KL 11·00 –11·40

Nuart x Amnesty International present the case of Human Right’s activist Sakris Kupila.

Panel debate with Sakris Kupila (FI), Ricky Lee Gordon (ZA) and Annamaria Guttierrez (CU/NO), hosted by Sara MacNeice, Head of Global Campaigns, Amnesty International

Adding his voice to Amnesty International’s Brave campaign, Ricky Lee Gordon will create a mural of Sakris Kupila – a human rights defender from Finland who has fought tirelessly for transgender rights in the face of harassment and intimidation – as part of this year’s Nuart Festival.

The ‘Brave’ campaign calls for an end to attacks against those defending human rights, in a context of increasing global hostility against activists. The campaign focuses on people who are taking enormous risks to stand up for our rights through exploring the power of art to push boundaries and stimulate debate.

Joining the panel debate will be Stavanger’s Head of Municipal Council for Culture and Sport, Annamaria Gutierrez, who was instrumental in the Venstre (Left) Party’s successful attempt to abolish the law which made it obligatory for anyone in Norway to be sterilised when undergoing the legal process of changing their gender.
