International Human Rights Art Festival
By Charlotte Robinson, November 21, 2024
The International Human Rights Art Festival (IHRAF) returns to NYC for its 6th year & takes place December 9th to 15th at The Tank in midtown Manhattan. There will be 60 new shows presented including new short musicals, dance pieces, one act plays, solo shows, poetry, puppetry & musical acts. Over 200 local & international artists will showcase their work which revolves around pressing social issues such as climate change, religion, immigration, caregiving, identity, diversity, LGBTQ, women's empowerment & more. Tom Block, IHRAF’s Founder & Executive Director stated, “As an organization that highlights & supports activist artists around the world, we now become one of them, instead of simply innocent bystanders in the international struggle for justice & human rights. As America enters its most challenging era since the Civil War, we will stand not with or against one or the other political parties, but for our values: human rights, social justice & celebrating diversity, equally for all people. Our artists open space through their own sincerity & vulnerability (no anger or finger-pointing, justified though it may feel) for conversation, understanding & appreciation of the ‘other,’ however imagined. Our work is based on our common humanity & the talent, passion & creativity of our performers.” IHRAF was founded in 2017 with the mission to amplify the critical voices of artists who bring human rights issues to the forefront of conversation & to inspire social change around the world. IHRAF, a 501c3 non-profit believes in a world where artists are free to use their creativity to provide an engine for social change & their work is honored as a human right.
