Human rights reports usually draw on a traditional human rights methodology, fact finding or documentation, with a view to identifying a violation, violator and remedy, and ‘naming and shaming’ the perpetrator. The truth is presented as objective and impartial. Reports represent a technical, detail-led, and legal form of speaking truth to power, usually addressing the government of the day. In this call artists were invited to respond to a human rights report, either by reframing the report in a different genre, an innovative form, or within a new meta-narrative. Artists were also invited to question the notion of ‘truth’. Human rights reports typically focus on forensic truth (rooted in the legal understanding of truth, as objective, corroborated evidence). Drawing on the report of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, we recognise the importance of other forms of truth: personal and narrative truth; social or ‘dialogue’ truth; and healing and restorative truth. At the end of Conversations with REPORTS, we will bring artists and activists together to share their process and work.
