Contemporary Artists’ Network (CAN)

in co-operation with the

Bangkok Art and Culture Center (BACC)

cordially invite you to a panel discussion on

the proposed Royal Edict on Intangible Cultural Heritage:

PROTECTION  OR  CENSORSHIP?

Listen to perspectives on the proposed draft of this law,

which entails severe punishment

including hefty fines and imprisonment.

What is its potential impact

on our right to freedom of expression

in the creation of art?

Hear the views of National Artists, Silpathorn Awardees,

artists of various disciplines, academics, art critics

and experts on human rights legislation.

The discussion will be open to comments from the floor.

This Saturday 2 November at 2 pm.
