Once we were told that we had freedom of expression in Spain.
Una vez se nos dijo que teníamos libertad de expresión en España.
Indígnate en www.elindignado.com
that is sexy. Teacher will be teachers, even on the street.
This was taken last 2008 Higantes festival in Angono, Rizal.
The celebration started as a stirical expression by farm worker during the spanish colonialization in the Philippines. They were trying to make fun of the landlords by making giant replica of them.
It has evolved into a fun celebration during the angono fiesta.
Since this is the hot topic on flickr for the last few weeks I thought I'd make my own artistic contribution.

The concept of Splitpiece
It is to take one image. Divide it into sections. Each section is done in area `different’ to the other. Each section stands alone as an artwork, with its own meaning, in its respective location but once all sections are completed they are brought together to make ONE fully comprehensive image.
We took one residential road, created murals on selected areas on all the homes, inside and outside. Then using all the murals, we combined them to make Splitpieces in several ways.
Using the residential area of Darling East, South Africa was ideal for this project because of several factors.

In a year when two out of three Latin Americans will elect new leaders, freedom of expression remains a crucial but fragile pillar of the region’s democratic systems. In 2017, 22 media workers were killed in the Americas, and other practices—from threats of violence to criminal prosecutions—were employed against individuals exercising their freedom of expression to better inform society. In addition, new challenges to democratic debate have emerged, including the deliberate, malevolent spread of disinformation—or “fake news”—and the corresponding danger of regulatory overreach by governments in response.
The Inter-American Dialogue, Reporters Without Borders, and the Office of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) are pleased to host a public forum to analyze persistent threats, emerging challenges, and potential solutions for protecting freedom of expression in the Americas.
"Thousands of anti-government protesters marched in Malaysia’s capital on Saturday demanding the resignation of the prime minister, Najib Razak, over his alleged involvement in a multibillion-dollar misappropriation scandal.
Clad in yellow shirts and unfazed by arrests of activists and opposition leaders just hours before the rally, protesters marched from various spots towards the heart of Kuala Lumpur amid tight security."

This is a demonstration for Filep Karma and Yusak Pakage, Papuans who were given long prison terms for raising the Papuan flag in a peaceful demonstration. Indonesia occupied western New Guinea in the 1960s, and has faced sporadic resistance since. While much of Indonesia is in Southeast Asia, Papuans are a Pacific people.
Indonesian and other countries struggle with issues of self-determination.

Vigil for the victims of the attack on the French magazine Charlie Hebdo. Brandenburger Gate, Berlin, January 7th, 2015.
Hi! I wanted to depict my disagreement of the death threats that have been going on just for drawing Muhammad. The people who drew them are not Muslim, so naturally they would not think it is a sin to draw Muhammad. using force to make someone not draw Muhammad is forcing your belief on others, that should be pretty obvious what is wrong with that. Freedom of religion means freedom of religion for all. If you want the freedom to express your religion you should be for it, not against it. People need the freedom to think, the freedom to explore the truth about the universe for themselves. Real truth doesn't hide from investigation, the people who want to force religion on others do not show that behaviour. Freedom of religion also sustains peace in a world of people who have, or are very capable of having, all sorts of different beliefs. Religions mostly are based on faith, believing in things without evidence. Its believing in something, supposedly, only non-believers can't see. If the non-believers can't see it than that is nothing to force on them. Imagine if one day someone someone told you that it is now a law that you can only wear things that are purple, because their invisible magical monkey god who created the universe told them so in their mind. This opens the door for all sorts of irrational laws to take place. So laws need to be based on something people, including non-believers, can observe and verify.
People need freedom of speech no matter what their religion is. There is nothing someone can say that wouldn't be offensive to someone else out there in the world. New ideas to a mind that is not used to them will sound silly to that mind if that mind is not open minded to new things. New ideas that directly disagree with someone elses worldview will sound both silly and they can be easily interpreted as insulting, when the person with the new ideas are just speaking what they honestly think. To some people this drawing might be seen as insulting their religion, but it is what I honestly think. I'm not trying to insult anyone. I only want to show what I see as the truth. I feel bad for the extremists trying to take away free speech. Real truth doesn't hide from free speech and expression, because it's reason shines through any mockery or illogical arguments.
This drawing also portrays my disagreement of telling people "You have to believe in us or suffer eternally in some bad place, or we will send some goons to kill you (They murder people for apostasy in many Muslim theocratic countries)" I don't think that is moral at all and it is like a Mafia Boss threat. I know many other religions do it too, many Christian denominations use fear to bring in the converts by saying if they don't believe in them, they will be burning for eternity.
I also find it convenient for many ideas of Heaven or Paradise that they offer a reward to people that they can never receive, unless they are at a place that we have no evidence of, and so no way of verifying if what they say is accurate. It is a good way to manipulate people to get them to do what you want, without ever having to give them something back in return.
I know not everyone uses these Heaven/Paradise and Hell concepts in these ways. The point is though that they can be and are used in that way by many people. Even if someone doesn't intend to use them in that way they are obvious players of people's emotions. It is saying, if you believe in us you can go to a land of eternal happiness, and if you don't you go to a land of eternal torture. Its the best thing that can imaginably happen to someone, opposed to the worst thing that could imaginably happen to someone. That is all something that really plays with peoples emotions. Christians will say those concepts don't effect them because the only thing that makes them believe is how much they worship God, but there is the point that admitting the latter would make them appear as not true Christians. Which would be people who are believing just to get out of hell. I've been there, I used to be a Christian for 20 years and I used that excuse. I even tried to hide it out of my mind and think that was really the case but those two concepts are obvious players of peoples emotions in matters of persuasion.
I know I missed Draw Muhammad Day *lol* That's okay. This only took me 2 days to draw and I can't believe that, it usually takes me around a week to draw something like this.
(Please do share this drawing and spread it around as much as you like)

In the last months, artistic expression has been targeted by state and non-state actors together. Think of names such as Charlie Hebdo and Pussy Riot: what makes them so provocative that they are attacked so brutally? How can art be creative, innovative and satirical without having the freedom to do so?

Clad in yellow shirts and unfazed by arrests of activists and opposition leaders just hours before the rally, protesters marched from various spots towards the heart of Kuala Lumpur amid tight security."

I posted the following text on Flickr under my photograph of my "I Am Salman Rushdie" button. I post the text again because I just purchased and read the text about the attack.
In the spring semester of 1989, I brought a distinguished poet to the campus where I was then teaching to give a reading to the community. She noticed the photocopies I had taped to my office door concerning the outrage of the fatwa placed on Rushdie by the Ayatollah Khomeini, and a couple of weeks after the reading, I received, in the mail, the button you see above. The button contains only this text: I AM SALMAN RUSHDIE. The poet explained to me in her accompanying letter that she had, since her visit to our campus, attended a large literary festival of writers where everyone received a button like this one.
We who write in the West (you might as well add “we who teach critical thinking in the West” or “we who can think for ourselves”) are the person under the same fatwa as Rushdie, or we might as well be; Khomeini, and every other ignorant, violent bully of a theocratic bent cannot ever come to an understanding about this. We, collectively and individually, are a threat because we deal in ideas and do so freely. We find words and ideas sacred; we find thought and free expression sacred. (I feel a similar contempt for Putin, a mass murderer.)
And some, like me, find turning over one’s responsibility for selfhood to any religion—all created by other people, dead and living—laughably and dangerously childish. How easily their need to escape thinking and complexity flashes forth into, one, a violent desire to force others to their own evasions and restrictions or, two, a violent desire to kill others for being adults in the face of the challenge of existence.
We can write about our respect for Rushdie; we can praise him for his life’s work; but “heaven” forbid that we turn the finger of blame, or shame, toward would-be murderers. Rushdie didn’t threaten anyone’s life. He didn’t kill anyone. He wrote a work of fiction the world did not have to read. And for that act of intelligence and imagination, for that art, (and I use the following words with nothing but contempt) a "supreme leader" called for the murder of a man who didn’t live in his country and, by choice, didn’t belong to his religion.
Do not expect to hear enough support for Rushdie from the universities. Too many cowards and whores. With two additional words, Rushdie has addressed, that is, corrected, the wimps (my word, not his) whining about being offended at every turn on college campuses: “The university should be a safe place for thought.”
Perhaps you've been thinking the I.Q. of the average American has dropped to a new low, and perhaps the stupid, violent responses of those around you in the USA have made you feel lonely? I certainly feel that. But it’s worse. The world is full of dumb and angry and violent. It’s lonely everywhere tonight…and tomorrow morning. The only good news for me tomorrow morning will be that Rushdie is still alive and that he is strong enough to raise his middle finger.

I recommend the 60 MINUTES interview Anderson Cooper conducted with Rushdie on April 14, 2024.

In the last months, artistic expression has been targeted by state and non-state actors together. Think of names such as Charlie Hebdo and Pussy Riot: what makes them so provocative that they are attacked so brutally? How can art be creative, innovative and satirical without having the freedom to do so?
"Defending Artistic Expression", a workshop organised by the Community's Working Group on Promoting Freedom of Opinion and Expression, dealt with these questions.
