| Summary: | At the instigation of the curators Katerina Gregos and Elena Sorokina, the question of human rights is not only examined from a philosophical and ethical point of view, but is also linked to the work of seventy international contemporary artists. Their work will be shown on nine different locations in the inner city of Mechelen in the fall of 2012. In the catalogue the selected works constitute a corpus, which clearly shows to what extent the question of human rights is also a recurrent theme within the field of art. However, the publication on this particularly ambitious project aims to be more than just an exhibition catalogue. The current situation of human rights is charted in the first part on the basis of essays and philosophical reflections. This is followed by contributions of several international human rights activists. Gripping testimonies and historical reconstructions alternate with socio-political analyses or new insights.
