with Local and Global Artists Who Fight Back

Artists including Issa Nyaphaha, a Cameroonian artist
who was imprisoned and tortured for his
journalistic drawings, and Pierre Mumbere Mujomba, an

twenty-seven visual and performance artists and global
activists, interactive sessions, multi-genre
musical performances, and multi-media displays. There
