CLANDESTINO FESTIVAL

VICTIMS & MARTYRS – POLITICAL INTERVENTIONS

Do we live in a victim society? Are marginalized groups too easily adjudicated the role of victims or martyrs? How does it affect their possibilities to
effectively change their own situation? The Conference Victims & Martyrs – Political Interventions cast light upon the concepts of victimhood and martyrdom from philosophical, theological, feminist, and juridical and artistic
perspectives.
