Creating Rights

Creating Rights is a non-profit organisation engaging in projects promoting human rights and transitional justice through art. It is also a platform seeking to foster a reflection on this interdisciplinary field and to create a hub for artists and law practitioners to communicate. Its aim is to introduce and support projects, artists, human rights activists, academics and law practitioners exploring the fields of human rights, humanitarian law, international justice and transitional justice in general through artistic productions. Creating Rights seeks to deepen actions in these domains through their interaction with artistic and cultural productions and beyond their traditional and professionalized frameworks. We believe that art has the potential to open up a space for communicating, and, through the stories and projects of people for whom art became a necessity and a means to express visions of human rights, to put up a mirror to our own ways of looking at human rights.
