Debate: ‘The Dialogue Police’: Focus on freedom of speech

We mark this year’s theme ‘Right Here Right Now’ at Kunsthal Charlottenborg with a debate on freedom of speech and human rights at a special premiere of ‘The Dialogue Police. Director Susanna Edwards will welcome you and introduce her film, and after, Martin Fehr Therkildsen from the speech school Røst will invite the audience to participate in an exercise that tests freedom of speech in practice. To Øl will serve a free beer.

We conclude the evening with a debate to discuss the current state of free spech, nationally and globally, with Mette Thygesen (International Director, Danish Institute for Human Rights), Peter Dahl (Police Inspector, Danish Police) and Yasmine Ahmed (UK Director, Human Rights Watch). What puts our human right to free speech under pressure, and should we in some cases prioritize public order or personal safety?
