Philosophy Public Lecture - Confederates, Rhodes and Honour: Obligations to Remove Cultural Artefacts
Philosophy Public Lecture - Confederates, Rhodes and Honour: Obligations to Remove Cultural Artefacts
In the 8th Annual Philosophy Public Lecture, Prof. Helen Frowe (Professor of Practical Philosophy at the University of Stockholm and Director of the Stockholm Centre for the Ethics of War and Peace) will discuss the question of whether states should remove public statues of people who engaged in serious rights violations. The lecture will be followed by a screening of the documentary The Silence of Others.
The Silence of Others
This multiple award-winning documentary chronicles a growing grassroots campaign by victims of Franco’s regime to bring his surviving henchmen to justice, despite a state-enforced amnesia regarding the crimes against humanity that were committed during the dictatorship. The Silence of Others reveals a country still deeply divided four decades into democracy, and brings into relief the fragility of democratic institutions.
This event is sponsored by the Royal Institute of Philosophy. Free & ticketed. Tickets can be booked via the Belmont Filmhouse website.
