Freedom Talks 2024

We have teamed up with criminologists at the University of Hull to find out whether the work we present at Freedom alters how you think about social issues.

Join us across the weekend for a series of Freedom Talks where a guest panel made up of our artists, criminologists and guest speakers will discuss some of the work you’ve seen during the festival and the themes that they address. We want you to take part in the conversation about what our work means to you and your contributions will feed into research for future art projects. To start off the weekend, Ella Dorton will discuss Tarred with the same Brush on Friday at 6.30pm from her exhibition space at Pier Street.
