Exhibition For Human Rights

Some months ago, I was asked if I wanted to take part in an exhibition for the Human Rights. The exhibition consisted in that different artists (sculptors, photographers, watercolorists, collage artists...) had to choose an article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and make an artwork based on it. I chose the 7th article, basically around Justice. I chose this article because I think that in some way it comprises the essence of Human Rights. It is just that everyone has the same opportunities, that everybody can opt to the same education. It is just that we all can be the same. Here you can see me with my artwork. You can also watch it at my portfolio. Photo by Franchi The exhibition was on day December 10, 2010, in the day of Human Rights. Remember that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was approved on December 10, 1948. The exhibition opened at 20:30 PM. It was presented by Vicente Pertegas, coordinator of International Amnesty, Jose Francisco Morales, councilor of culture of Elda, Ana Martinez in representation of all the artists, Consuelo Giner, the President of EDA, and Maravillas Cano, a poet that read some poems. This exhibition started on Alicante, in Panoramis Gallery, and will route through another cities and art galleries. Photo by Jordi R. Cardona There were many people and we got lots of signatures for several human rights issues. I am very happy of participating in this. Photo by Jordi R.
