Human Rights: Confronting Images and Testimonies

Overview
This conference begins with the question "What is Evidence?" Art offers
a lens through which we come to recognize the politics of power and
abuse. Human Rights: Confronting Images and Testimonies brings
together artists, activists, and scholars who will discuss their work in
the context of human rights as it transforms the raw material of
individual and collective suffering into legible and convincing data,
confrontational imagery, and testimony.

This conference will begin on Thursday, March 4, at 4 p.m. with a
presentation by artist activist Coco Fusco. It will conclude with the
collaborative project Combatant Status Review Tribunals, pp. 002954-
0034064: A Public Reading. The conference will be held both days at
the Wexner Center for the Arts.
