*FREE* Art in Authoritarian Times: Artistic Freedom as Democratic Infrastructure with Scot Nakagawa
What does it mean to make art in a moment when democracy itself is under threat, and why do authoritarians always come for artists first?
In this urgent presentation, strategist and democracy defender Scot Nakagawa, co-founder of the 22nd Century Initiative, makes the case that artistic freedom is not a cultural amenity but democratic infrastructure. It is the most sensitive indicator we have of the health of a free society. Drawing on the historical record from Nazi Germany to contemporary Hungary, and on the latest research on nonviolent civil resistance, Nakagawa argues that the assault on arts funding, public media, and free expression we are witnessing right now is not a culture war. It is an infrastructure attack. And artists are already on the front lines, whether they know it or not.
