A lawyer who has helped transfer $5.5 billion from corporations to their victims – an author – the co-founder and chair of Digital Rights Watch. Today, I’m joined by LIZZIE O’SHEA and we’ll be discussing her digital rights activism, (which impacts the rights of artists), the value of art in changing political conversations, and how to fight back against everything in the 21st century. I dare you not to be inspired to action by this episode.
A BONUS EPISODE with Lizzie is available via Apple Podcasts or at Substack. In it, she discusses a foundational piece of art from her life – Gustave Courbet’s perpetually controversial 1866 painting, L’ORIGINE DU MONDE (THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD, in English). This is a brilliant conversation about the freedom of expression and censorship over the past 160 years.
