Wednesday 24 May

A discussion on human rights as explored in a new art exhibition

Organised by the Institute of Ideas

Date: May 24, 2006
Time: 6.30 for 7pm
Tickets: Free


'The Keep Turning Left Route' is Sarah Strang's first solo exhibition, and features a series of works created in collaboration with Brazilian sign-holder, Denis Augusto Pereira. Their meeting in 2005 led to a partnership that has culminated in 'About Jean's Death', a performance and installation commenting on the issues surrounding the death of Jean Charles de Menezes. Sarah describes her work as a social collaboration, representing personal experiences of human rights legislation in London. The discussion will pick up on these themes.

Speakers:
John Fitzpatrick
senior lecturer in law, University of Kent; director, Kent Law Clinic

Julian Stallabrass
senior lecturer in modern and contemporary art, Courtauld Institute of Art; author, Art Incorporated

 


‘Protest by Denis Augusto’ reveals a personal account of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and addresses issues of social injustice. The work confronts the exploitation that deprives labour of any dignity and highlights the inequities inherent in capitalism. It is a personal indictment on Article 23 of The Universal Declaration of Human rights featuring Denis’ handwritten amendments of the text.
