ARTicle 19: Everyone has the right to freedom of expression UDHR
Amnesty International Aotearoa New Zealand (AIANZ) are hosting an event to raise awareness of our organisation, which exists to defend and uphold human rights.
AIANZ are organising an art exhibition in Auckland city in early July in central Auckland. The event will be followed by an online auction selling the exhibited pieces on TradeMe. The proceeds will help AIANZ continue its work of promoting human rights worldwide, in the Pacific, and here in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
The theme of the exhibition is ‘ARTicle 19: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression’. Submissions due Monday 21 June 2010.
We ask that you use your freedom to free others by donating an artwork that will help raise the profile of Amnesty; its members; and the work they do to protect human rights. The more awareness the New Zealand public has of human rights, the greater the difference we can make as an organisation.
The event is being coordinated by volunteers and is run entirely on the goodwill of people who believe in the fundamental human rights of people everywhere.
Amnesty International is a global movement of 2.8 million people dedicated to the struggle against oppression and injustice. Our mission is to conduct research and generate activism to prevent and end grave abuses of human rights.
Your contribution will enable us to stand up for those who are unable to defend themselves.
