Synopsis

THROUGH THE RUINS: TALKS ON HUMAN RIGHTS AN THE ARTS 1 is the inaugural volume in a series of publications dedicated to exploring creative tools of resistance. THROUGH THE RUINS is based on public talks presented at the OSUN Center for Human Rights and the Arts at Bard College (CHRA) by Faustin Linyekula (Kisangani); The White Pube (London); Cassils (LA); Emily Johnson (New York); Border Forensics (London); Ashmina Ranjit (Nepal); Mark Sealy (London); and Hamed Sinno (Philadelphia). In their own words and in conversation with others, these activists, scholars, and artists from around the globe make evident the richness and range of contemporary practices at the intersection of human rights and the arts. Each chapter is introduced by a different scholar or curator and is then followed by a Q&A with a live, international audience. The text is further enhanced by the collection's emphatic typography and creative design by Will Brady that guide the reader through chapters rich in personal story, theory, and history.
