وصف الكتاب:
in some countries, artists who express dissenting views in the social and cultural circumstances, in which they live and work, experience resistance ranging from social exclusion to, at worst, state oppression. In response, they seek refuge within their imaginations and artistic endeavors where they create and inhabit 'spaces of freedom'. Creating spaces of freedom is an anthology of essays by such notable figures as Nobel Prize Winner in literature Wole Soyinka, anti-apartheid activist Albie Sachs, banned Vietnamese novelist Duong Thu Huong and the Algerian comedian Fellag. In addition, this unique cultural document contains nearly 100 photographs of news, CD and book covers, films, cartoons, websites, and fine art. From Brazilian soap opera directors and Chinese avant-garde artists to Arab cartoonists and Serbian website designers, people from around the world find ways to transcend limitations and avoid repercussions. Creating Spaces of Freedom celebrates triumph over adversity.
