Join us for this online discussion 'Political Art as a Political Act' on LGBTIQ+ rights with Hadi Damien and Alexander Hammelburg.

Attention! Due to the expected curfew, as announced by the Dutch government on 20 January, this event has been rescheduled from the 9th of February to 16 February from 20:00 till 20:45 (CET time).

On 16 February 2020, D66 International is hosting a 1-hour discussion session about diversity, inclusivity and LGBTIQ+ rights. Together with Hadi Damien and Alexander Hammelburg, we will reflect on LGTBIQ+ rights in Lebanon and on the role art can play in delivering a political message. This event is a follow-up on previous interviews we conducted with ‘artivists’ from Europe and the MENA-region. Check out the short movie here.

At the end of this session, there will be a Q&A with Hadi Damien which is publicly accessible. Do you want to ask a question to Hadi Damien yourself? Sign up at the form below!
