Ake Festival 2024 | Panel Discussion | Finding Freedom

Although freedom is a universal aspiration, it often eludes us. Whether it is individual rights or collective interests, powerful vested interests can curtail freedoms. Is it possible, or even reasonable, for individual expression to flourish without constraints? When priorities clash, which rights should be sacrificed first? Join our panel of eminent thinkers as we navigate the complex struggle for personal freedom in a world of competing interests, and look to a future in which humanity can flourish free of oppression. Join author and journalist Karen Attiah who will be in conversation with Sofia Cheliak and Najwan Darwish.
