Then, the second speaker, Andra Matei, the founder of avantgarde lawyers, an international artists’ rights advocacy organization, will speak on how the pending April 23 trial on Taeyong Chung, the artist who painted a graffiti over the Berlin walls erected on Chunggyechun, should be analyzed under international human rights standards
