The utterly imitable and extremely talented Róisín Murphy speaking at our Freedom_In_The_Arts new toolkit launch in Westminster this week. Please watch this. If you’re not in the arts this will be important. If you are in the arts heed her warning. “The creative soul of this country, and of Europe, has always thrived on discomfort, on the freedom to be wrong, to offend, to pivot, and to surprise ourselves. Without that freedom, we don’t get better art. We simply put artists in a chokehold and suffocate life out of our culture. We need free inquiry and open debate. The arts- must - breathe freely again.”
