Sketchbooks 4 Human Rights
The project is about capturing, developing and generally exploring basic human rights through Art and artists point of view. Furthermore, the ultimate goal is the creative friction and production of remarkable creative work, highlighting the swamp of choices in today’s society , using the universally accepted language of Fine Arts; particularly, adopting the post-contemporary era of visual representation, which under the circumstances is misinterpreted.
Thus, in this orientation, sketchbooks will be given to fifty artists, who are invited to design in a simple, yet realistic way of portraying, lacking, distorting or depicting their own perspective, the acquisition of basic human rights today. The majority of the artists will be out of surpassed social group, while the rest will be renowned artists.
Based on the joint action with the artists, four online sessions will take place for the purposes of spreading awareness, targeted information and pointing out the subject matter as a thesis, in order to achieve the experiential background of this goal; correlating theory and practice in everyday life.
The creative work on sketchbooks, as the artists information too, will be public published on a targeted for this project internet site. Finishing off the sketchbooks of all artists, will conclude and trigger the art exhibition of one depiction per sketchbook, in an exhibitional space downtown Athens. Furthermore a short video will be created and edited, combining all of the artists sharing their motto on the project, and a 3D virtual reality exhibition will enrich the website.
Art Hub Athens, in addition to implementing the above actions, will integrate this project in existing and current underway projects, specifically in SketchBook 4 SDGs which is the first global project that creates a library with sketchbooks of artists with themes inspired by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
