Art Is Our Artillery to Defend Human Rights 

Overview

Amnesty International may have been around for over 50 years, but that certainly doesn't mean they've lost touch with how to move people to action. Run by this renowned world leader in social justice and human rights issues, Amnesty International Australia is running a two-hour seminar to reveal the potential of art in public action.

Indigenous rights campaigner Roxanne Moore will lead discussion about creating innovative ways to tackle one of Australia's toughest social concerns: the treatment of our Indigenous peoples. In line with Amnesty's current campaign 'Community Is Everything', this talk unpacks the power and creativity of Indigenous people, showcasing the various ways art serves to voice their rights, passions and abilities. Expect to leave this one pretty inspired.

There's also an exhibition to run to with this event, showing at Work-Shop in Redfern.
