Human Rights Exhibition (Designmatters)
| “Tools of Torture” by Cindy Chen. "I chose this subject because I was horrified to learn that hammers and drills and other objects found in most toolboxes are being used to torture people.” |
| “Equality is Freedom” by Ani Gevorgian. "This
poster depicts two hands, one male and one female, that together create a bird with equal wings, letting it fly freely.” |
| “Peace” by Daniel Chang. "wanted to create a visceral image that causes an uneasy reaction and then juxtapose it with a word that is its polar opposite." |
| “This is My Home” by Cindy Chen. "I chose to make a poster about homelessness because it is something I notice in my everyday life and on a global level.” |
| “Sweatshop Sally” by Sharon Levy, Heather East. "I believe art can serve to create awareness and open a dialogue about
topics that people wouldn’t talk about otherwise." |
Students were challenged to interpret and represent the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through visual images and text while keeping in mind internationalism and accessibility in their messaging.
The posters aim to inspire a vibrant dialogue on the universal theme of human rights through visual messaging. In addition to existing in poster form, postcard-sized versions have also been developed.
