Having witnessed several "Illegal" protests during a trip to Russia in the summer of 2013, the idea of people being publicly silenced struck a nerve. Through the ages people have protested knowing they might be beaten, imprisoned or even murdered. My goal is to call attention to these conditions silently.
With 12 days until I leave for Australia, I continue to research protests and persecutions happening around the globe. Particularly interesting and current is Russian's new "No Protest Zone" during the Sochi Winter Olympics.

The workshops to be conducted in Australia will allow the participates to direct the focus on the issues of the freedom of speech and public "silencing".
We will reference current examples while revisiting historically significant protests both local and international..
