Artistic freedom is under attack worldwide

Scars of Democracy

Deeyah Khan, Unesco – Goodwill Ambassador for Artistic Freedom and Creativity

It is the stated mission of „STROKE Art Fair“ to present a great variety of styles with a particular focus on the various forms young artists use to express themselves – artists who are bold enough to take a stand and defend their point of view even under pressure. Therefore „STROKE Art Fair“ supports the freedom of expression in arts and entertainment: a human right as of 1948 set out in Article 19 by the United Nations General Assembly.
