The theme of the 2018 Festival was IDENTITY. We presented a programme of films, performances, talks and workshops exploring what it is that makes us who we are. Themes included gender, sexuality, mental health, disability, nationality, race, and socioeconomic status. We had speakers and panel members from as far afield as Tibet, Palestine, and Syria, and we also showcased the research and work being done here at Oxford Brookes in our lunchtime seminars series.

Looking back at 2018
The 16th annual Oxford Human Rights Festival took place here at Oxford Brookes University from 12th to 17th March 2018, with the exhibition in the Glass Tank. The theme of the Festival was IDENTITY and we explored this in terms of gender, race, nationality, disability and health, and sexuality. We welcomed artists from around the world and from here in the UK, starting with an explosive set from "advocates for social change disguised as Rock Stars" Delta 7, and also including Tibetan film maker Sonam Anja-Tsang, Syrian Finnish actor Sherwan Haji, a series of talks showcasing research and support here at Brookes around the theme of IDENTITY, and a performance of the powerful play Borderline, a tragi-comedy based in and devised by people who have experience of the Calais Jungle. You can catch up on many of the talks and discussions on our YouTube channel.
