An exhibition showcasing a series of short films and visuals produced by students on the theme of human rights.
The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission, in partnership with the University of Ulster, is launching an exhibition showcasing a series of short films and visuals produced by students on the theme of human rights. The exhibition entitled ‘Animate your rights’ aims to promote a greater awareness of human rights in Northern Ireland.
The work on display was produced by Visual Communications students at the Belfast campus of the University of Ulster earlier this year. The exhibition will be launched on 28 November at 6pm in the foyer of the Art College, Belfast, by the Chief Commissioner, Professor Monica McWilliams, and the Provost of the University of Ulster, Professor Bill Clarke.
Chief Commissioner, Professor Monica McWilliams, commented:
“I want to commend all the students who feature in this exhibition for their hard work and commitment to the project; the high level of talent displayed is truly inspiring.
It is hoped that this exhibition can inspire others by giving expression to the meaning of human rights. By gaining a better understanding of human rights, hopefully we can build a better future based on respect and our common dignity. This is particularly relevant as we approach the UN International Human Rights Day on 10 December.”
University of Ulster Provost, Professor Bill Clarke, said:
“We are delighted to have been able to support this compelling exhibition. It provides an excellent showcase for the innovative work of Northern Ireland’s next generation of visual communications professionals, and highlights a topic – human rights – of increasing importance for us all”.
The exhibition will run until 17 December 2007 and the will tour selected schools, colleges and youth clubs. 12 of the animations submitted by students are showcased on a specially produced DVD together with associated visuals and an information leaflet.
