Human rights is like jazz…
ARTIФ is a platform based in Tbilisi where art and human rights meet to enrich a public perspective on pressing social issues and to create a more inclusive and equitable society. We do it gently: we educate, connect, and create spaces for sharing knowledge among groups and individuals from different disciplines.
How this works?
- We bring together artists, human rights defenders, and activists from different regions and backgrounds;
- We create a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and development of art projects reflecting on contemporary human rights issues;
- We trigger public reaction and facilitate a dialogue between activists and decision-makers;
- We inspire and support other creative initiatives.
