The Oxford Human Rights Festival is back for its 21st installment and we are excited to announce this year’s theme: NOW WHAT?
Over the past 20 years this festival has used its platform to shed light on the importance of Human Rights through engaging programmes consisting of films, performances, talks, exhibitions and more.
This year’s committee reflected on the state of human rights today and the emotions they feel when witnessing the continuous attacks on fundamental rights across the world. These reflections led to a discussion about the power of the arts and of public events to not only raise awareness but also to promote engagement and to catalyse action. This year’s guiding question ‘NOW WHAT?’ aims to implicate all of us, asking us to reflect on the lessons learned from the history of human rights, and to question what does the future of human rights hold?
The programme for the 2023 festival is currently being assembled, keep an eye on our social media channels to keep up to date, or email us at OxHRF@brookes.ac.uk to find out how you can get involved.
