Event Description
When freedom of expression is at the forefront of Australian public consciousness, how do we responsibly maintain that freedom while fostering community?
PEN Sydney has been defending writers and their freedom of expression here and around the globe for more than 90 years. In this panel discussion, journalists Jan Fran and Peter Greste and cartoonist Cathy Wilcox share their experiences of navigating complex environments with their politically engaged work. How do we find a middle ground among nuanced perspectives and multiple truths?
Hear Jan, Peter and Cathy reflect on these prescient themes in thoughtful conversation with Benjamin Law.
Temporary access to this recording is with thanks to the Sydney Writers Festival and the State Library of NSW.
