Join us for a panel discussion of human rights on Chicago’s south side, considering dimensions of public health and safety, criminal justice, and creative expression. Presented in collaboration with the Pozen Family Center for Human Rights at the University of Chicago.

This event is a component of In Acts, a group exhibition inspired by the summit that will bring international artists to the University of Chicago’s campus later this month to ask: What is an artistic practice of human rights? In Acts provides a setting for artworks by Lola Arias, Jelili Atiku, Tania Bruguera, Zanele Muholi, Carlos Javier Ortiz, and Laurie Jo Reynolds, who advance human rights discourse and policy through their art.
