In the age of COVID-19, is it now more than ever important to have the right to protest?
GOMA Talks returns during the Children’s Art Centre exhibition ‘Now is the Time’, for a virtual session exploring the future of protest. Hear from special guests as they consider whether a global pandemic and social distancing measures will impact on our ability to stand together in protest. Should digital platforms be considered the future of protest, or is social media activism simply performative?
