The main topic of the talk, led by Regine Debatty, will be Jill Magid’s film “The Proposal”, which is about an architect Luis Barragan, known as “the artist among architects” and about artists’ fight for democratization of access to art. In this respect, the talk will also discuss what is capitalism’s relationship to art and legacy, what is the law’s relationship to the privatisation of culture, and how can art be a methodology through which challenging issues are dissected. The film can be viewed here.
The talk will also introduce as special guests Alenka Pirman, dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič LL.M.,LL.M. in Matevž Čelik.
The online event is free and will be held at 17:00 live through Facebook.

Welcome!
The Internet Archive is a non-profit organization that maintains the Open Library, a digital library index, and is dedicated to preserving knowledge. As many of the works in the Internet Archive are under copyright, the Archive uses a system of controlled digital lending based on digital rights management to prevent unauthorized downloading or copying of copyrighted books. In March 2020, due to the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Internet Archive established the National Emergency Library, eliminating the waiting lists used in the Open Library and expanding access to books for all readers. In June 2020, the Emergency National Library faced a lawsuit from four book publishers and was ultimately closed.
The 43rd session of the WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (hereinafter SCCR) made substantial progress on the issues advocated by the A2K Coalition (Access to Knowledge Coalition), which IPI is a member of. This year’s session was the most productive on the issues of exceptions and limitations. James Love (Knowledge Ecology International), a long-time observer at WIPO, described the outcome and the impact of the public interest community as the strongest since the conclusion of the Marrakech Treaty, which brought global copyright exceptions for the benefit of the blind and visually impaired.
