CONNECT.REFLECT.ACT TALK
How to change the world one step at the time

The talk will reflect on how the tools derived from contemporary arts can be applied to real-world issues, challenging, influencing, and changing public perceptions of them. While telling the story of personal involvement in different social problems, a look into a handful of case studies of art-fueled interventions will be offered.

The topics of performative actions range from environmentalism, threats to democracy, the refugee crisis on the Belorussian border, and the war in Ukraine. The emphasis of the talk is on how freedom of speech facilitates all human rights.
