The International Human Rights Art Movement
The International Human Rights Art Movement, founded in 2017 by activist artist Tom Block, amplifies the critical voices of artists who risk their lives to bring human rights issues to the forefront of conversation and inspire social change around the world.
We protect freedom of expression by highlighting those who might be suppressed or oppressed in their home countries.
We bring together all members of society through our programming, from artists-in-exile and at risk; to activists on the front lines of the struggle for rights and justice in their own country; to creators working in all media; to national and international politicians, government agencies, social leaders and celebrities.
We believe that creative engagement with all members of the society is the surest path toward social justice and positive change.
Our signature values: Beauty as a fundamental creative principle; Sincerity and Vulnerability of presentation; Celebrating Diversity and opening doorways of Engagement!
