How can art be used to both engender and document acts of resistance? The writer, Olivia Laing, leads a discussion on protest, freedom of expression and the climate crisis.

Olivia Laing spent the summer of 1997 in a tree protesting the destruction of much woodland to make way for a strip of road.

Today, Extinction Rebellion co-founder Clare Farrell is at the forefront of the movement campaigning for the preservation of our planet.

Photojournalist Adrian Fisk has borne witness to both through his camera lens, focusing on geo-political visual analysis of South Asia as well as documenting protests in the UK from 2018 to the present day.

The discussion takes in the evolution and intensifying criminalisation of disruptive protest, what this means for freedom of expression and the climate crisis, and how art can be used to both engender and document acts of resistance.

This event is delivered in partnership with English PEN, one of the world's oldest human rights organisations.
