The observance of human rights needs continual monitoring. Land of human rights therefore brought people together to look at how things stand in human rights in Europe from the perspective of visual art. Starting at the end of 2007, over a period of 18 months, artistic analyses of different visions of human rights in Europe have been developed and shared with the general public. Forthcoming activities (exhibitions inside and outside gallery spaces, poster campaigns, media projects, film programmes, publications and debates) will raise awareness of the European foundations of human rights.
