The respective spectrum ranges from (picture) commentaries to critical or ironic productions and even interventions. Pablo Picasso's "Guernica" for example made history as a stern signal against war. Joseph Beuys always intermingled with contemporary political discourse, also in an artistic way. And at the latest since the Arab Spring, "Street Art" has once again become more political and presents a serious...

Freedom is not self-evident. Not even in the Netherlands. Although the Netherlands has a long tradition in freedom and secularism, there was a need to found a secular Humanist organization.

Seventy years later the Netherlands is one of the most secularized countries in the world. What does this do to society? Can humanism be the moral standard for a secular society worldwide? In this lecture I want to share...
