In April 2021, three leading French cultural organizations based in New York brought together more than a dozen thinkers from the U.S. and France for a transatlantic festival investigating the state of <em>liberté d’expression</em> or free speech in the age of what has been called “cancel culture.”


Presented entirely online over the weekend of <strong>April 23 to 25</strong>, the festival featured three in-depth conversations, each one centering on a hot-button issue: <strong>Religion</strong>; <strong>Sexuality</strong>; and <strong>Race</strong>.

A Transatlantic Festival: Liberté d’expression, Free Speech, and "Cancel Culture"

Talk I: Religion


Presented on Friday, April 23, 2021

In English


What does religious freedom mean in the public sphere? The French concept of laïcité, the result of a long historical struggle of the Republic against the power of the Church, has no equivalent in the US. Many Americans even consider it liberticidal for its apparent limitations on religious practice and observance. Are these concerns valid or a misconstruction? Is there still support for free speech when it comes to religion?


Keynote Speaker: Suzanne Nossel

With Philippe Lançon, Caroline Fourest

Moderated by Emily Hamilton


90 minutes with Q&A


Co-presented by La Maison française of NYU, The Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the US, and FIAF
