Introduction

Mission Statement

Land of Human Rights …

… is a project dealing with the status quo of the human rights in Europe seen from the perspective of visual art. Starting by the end of 2007, over a period of three years analyses and visions of human rights issues in Europe will be developed and disseminated in the general public with the means of art. The planned activities – exhibitions inside and outside the gallery space, poster campaigns, media projects, film programmes, theoretical discourse etc – are supposed to reach a broad audience and shall make us aware of the following fact: In many respects the observance of human rights is not guaranteed “in front of our doors” too!
