Democracies: Tate Liverpool

This display brings together artworks that look at what it means to live in a democracy. A democratic society is based on equality, protecting each person’s individual rights and upholding ideals such as freedom of speech. Often presented as ideal, there are in fact challenges in democratic societies. Marginalised groups have fought and continue to fight for recognition and representation. While extreme political groups test the limits of freedom of speech and the right to protest.
