Beskrivning
What can art offer to facilitate a fuller understanding of human rights and human rights violations? How do arts-based interventions help to highlight injustices, empower individuals and groups, and advocate for and effect change? How do art practices help to reveal new dimensions of violations and aid in post-conflict recovery? In this edited volume, twenty-seven artists and scholars, working across a range of practices and approaches, answer these questions – and many more – through a series of conversations. They offer deeply personal reflections on creative labour, sharing original and rich insights into a range of ongoing social and political struggles, violent conflicts, and human rights abuses.

Recensioner i media

A tour de force across several academic disciplines and artforms, this refreshingly innovative volume creatively reconsiders human rights abuses through exciting, mutually illuminating boundary crossings between the academic and the artistic worlds, too often out of sync with each other. Combining grounded theorizing with autobiographical testimony, it is a must read for anyone seeking to understand the messy and ever-changing reality of political violence and to imagine a way forward.
