Welcome to the Art Rights Truth Podcast. In this series, we focus on the role of the arts in inspiring new approaches and languages in human rights work. In each episode, we speak to guests including artists, human rights practitioners and academics, to try to answer to the question: what can art do for human rights?
Episode One: Artivism in Human Rights Work, with Ines Pousadela and Paula Serafini
In this episode, we discuss the value of art in human rights work, the challenges of arts-based approaches, and exciting projects and interventions within this field. The episode features Charlotte Spear in conversation with Ines Pousadela (CIVICUS) and Paula Serafini (QMUL).
Episode Two: Artistic Documentation and New Ways of Doing Human Rights, with Paul Gready and Wezile Harmans
In this episode, we discuss the role of documentation in political art, and how artwork may provide alternative means of documentation from those traditionally used in human rights work. We are joined by Art Rights Truth co-Principle Investigator and Professor of Politics and Applied Human Rights, Paul Gready, and interdisciplinary mixed-media artist Wezile Harmans.
Episode Three: Artistic Deconstruction and New Ways of Doing Human Rights, with Mauricio Rivera Henao and Ana Bilbao Yarto
In this episode, we explore the role of deconstruction in political art and its potential to foster the development of contemporary Indigenous methodologies in research, repatriation, justice, and symbolic and territorial reclamation. The conversation features Ana Bilbao Yarto, Senior Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Art at the University of York and Co-Investigator on Gente del ECO, and Colombian contemporary artist and academic Mauricio Rivera Henao, representing the collective Gente del ECO.
