The theme of this year’s Festival is IDENTITY. We present a programme of films, performances, talks and workshops exploring what it is that makes us who we are. Themes include gender, sexuality, mental health, disability, nationality, race, and socioeconomic status. The centrepieces of this year's Festival are two exhibitions, in the Glass Tank and just across the Abercrombie Atrium in The Lab.
Troubled Eyes
5 - 23 March 2018
Troubled Eyes, features the photography of Andrew McNeill. Andrew is a humanitarian photographer concentrating on the human condition. He has worked alongside NGOs throughout Asia and in some of India's worst slums. 15 years ago, Andrew made the first of what was to become countless trips to the Asian continent. Traveling light and with just a camera, he began to seek out the most interesting faces he could find. Copies of his book Under The Bridge are available for free (while stocks last) in the exhibition.

Tented Dreams
5 - 23 March 2018
We’re honoured to have artwork and artefacts produced by Syrian artists and children who are refugees in the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan working with the UK based charity Souriyat Across Borders. Souriyat is the phonetic spelling in English of the Arabic word for “female Syrians”.
Their four primary objectives are:
Providing physical and occupational rehabilitation for the Syrian war wounded;
Providing humanitarian and medical aid;
Providing education, training, and vocational support;
Empowering vulnerable refugees.
The children’s paintings were done on the canvas of their tents in the refugee camp and some of their statements describe how they feel about being forced to leave the homes they love.
All the paintings and artefacts are for sale, with proceeds going to the charity. To buy something please emails the Human Rights Festival on OxHRF@brookes.ac.uk or come to the talk at 2.30pm on Saturday 17th March 2018 here in the Glass Tank.
Tented Dreams paintings: £100 each;
Professional paintings: £200 each;
Traditional scarves: £15 each;
Soaps: £5 each.
