Something That Never Was - An Evening on Art and Censorship

EN below Hvorfor forsøger nogle magthavere gennem historien at kontrollere kunst og fortællinger? Hvad sker der med samfund, når nogle stemmer bliver bragt til tavshed? Hvad betyder det at have frihed til at skabe, ytre sig og blive hørt? Kom med til en aften på Nørrebro Bibliotek d. 28. oktober, hvor kunst og samtale mødes omkring censur, ytringsfrihed og kunstens rolle for et demokratisk samfund . Censur af kunst og begrænsninger af ytringsfriheden har eksisteret gennem historien og findes stadig i dag. Men hvordan virker censur i praksis? Hvilke mekanismer får mennesker til at tie, og hvordan kan vi genkende dem på tværs af tider og steder? Og hvad betyder det for samfund, når nogle fortællinger får plads, mens andre forsøges begrænset eller bragt til tavshed? 🎭 18.30-19.00 Something That Never Was Vi begynder med en visning af den ukrainske koreograf og danser Anastasia Krasnoshchokas solodanseværk Something That Never Was . Værket tager afsæt i poesi og musik fra en generation af ukrainske kunstnere - The Executed Renaissance - der blev censureret og forfulgt i 1930’erne. 💬 19.00-19.30 Samtale og Q&A Efter forestillingen møder Anastasia Menneskerettighedsaktivist Mikkel Ivers til en samtale om censur, ytringsfrihed og kunstens rolle for et demokrati. Obs. Samtalen foregår på engelsk. Med afsæt i værket og Mikkels erfaringer og arbejde med mennesker, der har levet med undertrykkelse og begrænset ytringsfrihed, bevæger samtalen sig mellem historiske erfaringer og nutidige spørgsmål og dilemmaer. Kom og oplev, lyt eller deltag i samtalen.

What happens to societies when certain voices are silenced? And what does it mean to have the freedom to create, speak out and be heard? Join us at Nørrebro Library on October 28th for an evening where performance and conversation come together around censorship, freedom of expression and the role of art in a democratic society . Censorship of art and restrictions on freedom of expression have existed throughout history and continue to exist today. But how does censorship work in practice? What mechanisms cause people to remain silent, and how can we recognise them across different times and places? And what happens to societies when some stories are given space while others are restricted or silenced? 🎭 6:30-7:00 Something That Never Was The evening begins with a performance of Ukrainian choreographer and dancer Anastasia Krasnoshchoka’s solo work Something That Never Was . The work draws on poetry and music from a generation of Ukrainian artists known as The Executed Renaissance , who were censored and persecuted in the 1930s. 💬 7:00-7:30 Conversation and Q&A After the performance, Anastasia will be joined by Human Rights Activist Mikkel Iversen for a conversation about censorship, freedom of expression and the role of art in a democracy. Taking the performance as a starting point, and drawing on Mikkel’s experience and work with people who have lived under oppression and restrictions on freedom of expression, the conversation will move between historical experiences and contemporary questions and dilemmas. Come to experience, listen or take part in the conversation.
