The Role of Art in Democracy: A Conversation in Collaboration with Human Rights Watch

In a time of growing challenges to democracy and human rights Market Art Fair partners with Human Rights Watch to highlight the transformative force of art in creating a more just world. In this conversation we discuss which role art plays in a democratic society; as means to create it, but also as a barometer for where we are as a civilization, and which threats artistic freedom is facing today.
