Kelvin Smith Library

“Thirty: Exploring Artistically the Universal Declaration of Human Rights” exhibit opening and reception

The Social Justice Institute and the Kelvin Smith Library invite the Case Western Reserve University community to the opening of a new exhibit, Thirty: Exploring Artistically the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The opening will be held Thursday, Jan. 24, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in the Kelvin Smith Library gallery.

Students of Facing History New Tech High School (a Cleveland public school) worked with artist Jason Labovitz to create a powerful collection of digital compositions exploring the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The images and texts investigate the juxtaposition of human and educational rights with physical visual manifestations of those rights.

Timothy Webster, associate professor of law, will share the history of the declaration, followed by the artist and some of the student creators discussing the exhibit.

A light reception will follow.

This event is free and open to the community.
