This book highlights the use of art in human rights, specifically within Africa. It advances an innovative pattern of thinking that explores the intersection between art and human rights law. In recent years, art has become an important tool for engagement on several human rights issues. In view of its potency, and yet potential to be a danger when misused, this book seeks to articulate the use of arts in the human rights discourse in its different forms. Chapters cover how music, photography, literature, photojournalism, soap opera, commemorations, sculpting and theatre can be used as an expression of human rights. This book demonstrates how arts have become a formidable expression of thoughts and a means of articulating reality in a form that simplifies truth and congregates resolve to advance change.

What does justice mean in times of transition? What kinds of possibilities and dissapointments emerge from processes of seeking justice through transition? How might we understand these processes through narrative?In August 2015, a group of Global South human rights activists and researchers gathered in Colombia for a workshop organized around the theme of transitional justice. This book, the third in a series, is the result of the discussions performed in that encounter.The chapters in this volume illustrate many complexities of transitional justice processes from the perspective of young human rights advocates involved in these struggles, many with their own complicated personal connections to the search for justice. These advocates hail from countries that have divergent relationships with the notion of transitional justice, from places deeply embedded in its norms and processes, such as Argentina and Colombia, to countries undergoing various kinds of transitions on very different terms, such as Turkey and Mexico. All of the chapters, however, write the messiness of seeking justice through transitions, spanning from the personal and intimate to the national and global.Together, these chapters beautifully illustrate both the pain and the political possibilities that come from the inability to leave history in the past, as well as the creativity of individual and collective efforts to seek justice through transitions. They also demonstrate the beauty of speaking, working, and writing justice from the hear.

¿Cómo podemos pensar la pandemia de la covid-19 a través de la desigualdad? ¿Cómo se ve este análisis cuando uno escribe desde Lahore o Abuja y no desde Londres o San Francisco? ¿Cómo esto nos ayuda a repensar el papel de la sociedad civil y sus formas de solidaridad?Este libro explora estas preguntas a través de narrativas escritas por jóvenes defensores de derechos humanos del sur global, desde Nigeria y Filipinas hasta India y Chile. Hablan de las desigualdades estructurales latentes que la pandemia ha profundizado, expuesto o reprimido, y las que rompieron la ya limitada confianza en el gobierno, el sector privado y las organizaciones sociales. También hablan de las estrategias de resiliencia y la organización social creativa que ayudaron a enfrentar la pandemia a través del mundo.Los colaboradores de este libro, desde distintas perspectivas, nos invitan a considerar qué podemos aprender de la interacción entre pandemia y desigualdad para inspirar una reorientación creativa de la acción colectiva y la incidencia hacia el futuro.

How might we think about the COVID-19 pandemic from the lens of inequality? How might such an analysis look when writing from Lahore or Abuja as compared to writing from London or San Francisco? How can it help us rethink our role as advocates and members of civil society, as well as our forms of solidarity?This book explores these questions through the narratives of young human rights advocates from the global South—from Nigeria to the Philippines to India to Chile. The authors discuss the latent structural inequalities that the pandemic has deepened, exposed, or suppressed, as well as those that broke people''s already fragile trust in governments, the private sector, and civil society organizations. They also explore the strategies of resilience and creative social organizing that have helped confront the pandemic around the globe.The contributors to this book, writing from different perspectives, invite us to consider what we can learn from the interplay between the pandemic and inequality in order to spur a creative reorientation of collective mobilization and advocacy toward the future.
