How do we articulate freedom of expression without self-censoring? How do we promote the artist’s liberty without manipulating the public? How do we defend without inciting hate and discrimination? 

Speakers from different backgrounds will attempt to answer these and other questions and share their own experiences of dealing with the topic of freedom of expression.
