Art and Human Rights

Due to the high-level summit for UDHR75, please be reminded the exhibition visit on 11th and 12th December is restricted.

In the framework of the celebrations promoted by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the Permanent Mission of Italy to the UN in Geneva, in cooperation with Associazione Genesi, present the contemporary art exhibition “Art and Human Rights”, curated by Ilaria Bernardi. 

The works of thirteen young and visionary talents, together with three works of prominent artists, such as Michelangelo Pistoletto, Emilio Isgrò and Mimmo Jodice, will contribute to raise awareness on the most challenging human rights issues.

The exhibition will be open to the public from Monday December 4th to Friday December 15th at the Exhibition Gallery in front of Room XX, Building E, 3rd floor
