ARTISTS’ ARREST launches Fact Sheet 43: 43 Artists for the 43 Health Workers, an art exhibit, here at Tomato Bomb! HQ, this July 17th, 7pm. The artworks exhibit the individual and collective responses of artists to the human rights situation pervading our time. Based on fact sheets or incident reports documented and prepared by paralegal and human rights volunteers, participating artists interpret the legal language into stirring perspectives.
Begun in 2008, Fact Sheet derives its title from the name of the document prepared by paralegal and human rights volunteers in relation to reported cases of human right violations. Artworks on exhibit are informed and inspired by these fact sheets. The project was a response to the alarming increase and intensity of human right violations under the Arroyo administration.
The exhibit opens with music, poetry and performances from invited guests.
