Performing Rights: Contemporary Art, Public Institutions and the Refugee Condition, by ANTHONY DOWNEY

Lecture by Anthony Downey – Approximate duration: 1 hour

Dr. Anthony Downey is Professor of Visual Culture in North Africa and the Middle East at Birmingham City University and the author of Art and Politics Now (Thames and Hudson, 2014).
