We have multiple stakeholders interested in ASEAN but need to continue to explore and invest in our front and backyards. To extend the ASEAN story, should we find a contemporary language for traditional art? How do we share these stories with the younger generation and today’s communities?

SESSION 3: CELL A - PROTECTING FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IN ASEAN
Panel Workshop
Panel Workshop
As artists and storytellers champion the people’s voices, we provide necessary counter-narratives to the official stories. Sometimes this challenges the state’s narratives and opens us up to censorship, or even threats of imprisonment and violence. We often think of censorship as the state’s means of managing its official narrative to its local citizenry. But let’s not forget other audiences such as international media, investors and policymakers. In this session, we reflect on how international trade and policies affect the work of artists locally and how artists can network regionally to protect the work we do. If artistic work is as instrumental as trade and politics in imagining better international and local policies, how can we work together to ensure it is not undermined by those very forces to which we provide an alternative voice?
Join the facilitators and speakers as we reflect on how best to protect freedom of expression in ASEAN.
