Speaker: Julie Trébault
A training tailored to the needs of Belarusian and Ukrainian artists and organisations: New digital technologies are transforming the world, affording artists new platforms to display and promote their work. But such realities have also generated an array of threats to artists-activists rights and freedom of expression, from governments seeking to surveil and censor online spaces, abusive trolls seeking to intimidate artists into silence and self-censorship, hackers seeking to undermine or breach artists’ content and data, and more. Drawing from the Artists at Risk Connection’s Safety Guide for Artists, this training will dive into these threats – such as laws and legislations governments use to restrict access to the internet and monitor online activities, as well as harassment and abuse by individuals and extremist groups – and offer tools and strategies to help individuals mitigate and prevent risk by bolstering their cybersecurity practices. It will pay particular attention to online harassment such as hate speech, threats, impersonation, doxing, message bombing, etc., equipping artists with an understanding of how and why online harassment occurs, how to prepare for and react to it, and how to establish a cybercommunity.
Julie Trébault is the director of the Artists at Risk Connection (ARC), a project of PEN America. ARC safeguards the right to artistic freedom by connecting threatened artists to support, building a global network of resources for artists at risk, and forging ties between arts and human rights organizations. She has nearly two decades of experience in international arts programming and network-building, including at the Museum of the City of New York, the Center for Architecture, the National Museum of Ethnology in The Netherlands, and the Musée du quai Branly in Paris. Trébault holds a Master’s Degree in Arts Management from Sorbonne University, a Master’s Degree in Archeology and Cultural Heritage from the University of Strasbourg, and taught at Fordham University. She is co-author of Freedom of Artistic Expression Through the Lens of the Sustainable Development Goals (Springer, 2021) and A Safety Guide for Artists (ARC, 2021), and has been instrumental in the creation of numerous reports on the state of artistic freedom of expression.
