Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A bold statement for those living within the industrial prison complex, realized in block prints of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.Inside prisons across the U.S., incarceratedpeople struggle everyday for their basic rights, claiming again andagain their status as human beings. Here, within the largest democracyin the world (conditional though it may be), incarcerated people sufferindignities from terrible living conditions to physical and sexualviolence, all under the aegis of justice. As a tool to discuss the limits and ideals ofhuman rights within a carceral state, artists at Stateville Prison, whostruggle daily for their own human rights, created block prints of eacharticle in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The process ofdrawing, carving, and inking each print created the time and space forartists to critique and reflect on the ways the declaration issimultaneously aspirational, strategic, and fraught with the legacy ofthe violence of its founding states. For universal human rights to berelevant, it is essential that the most impacted people be heard andtheir vision of human rights centered. This book features the 30 brilliantly craftedprints presented alongside the corresponding articles from thedeclaration. The artists and authors ask essential questions of what itmeans to build a culture of human rights from below rather thaninstitute rights from above. What happens when people denied theirrights, begin to reimagine and carve them out once again? This project was inspired by Meredith SternsUniversal Declaration of Human Rights print project and developed in aclass taught by Aaron Hughes through the Prison + NeighborhoodArts/Education Project.
