Presented By: Human Rights Through Education
Human Rights and the Humanities
Human Rights & The Humanities seeks to take a look at the relationship between the arts and human rights. We believe that the close tie that arts have to every-day life makes them a powerful tool in confronting our problems, supporting our beliefs, and creating a spur for change. As a result, human rights become accessible and humanized as we are able to take abstract concepts from an often rigid academic pedestal and infuse them with the passion and meaning of life. This symposium will showcase speakers and artists from all over to share their experiences with the expression of human rights through art.
