Fly The Flag: Art & Human Rights\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

On Monday, I took part in a special panel discussion at Sadler’s Wells<\/a><\/strong> as part of\u00a0 the #FlyTheFlag70<\/strong> festival.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The rich and thought-provoking discussion considered how we are often unaware of our human rights, take them for granted, or think about them as something relating to \u2018others\u2019. It highlighted how there is still a lot to be done to build understanding that each and every one of us has a minimum set of fundamental rights at any given time, and how art is uniquely placed to humanise stories, make individual issues universal, appeal to our emotions and foster empathy among people \u2013 ultimately advancing the cause of human rights for all.”<\/p>\n
