Transitional justice and human rights

We recognize human rights activists and transitional justice practitioners for what they do to further the goals of accountability, truth, and the protection of human dignity.

“Transitional Justice and Human Rights” is a collection currently consisting of two exhibits – “Transitions” and “On the Margins” – dedicated to transitional justice, human rights advocacy, and the fight for equality and recognition.

The stories and testimonies displayed in this collection come from different contexts, including Bosnia-Herzegovina, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and the United States of America (USA).

The purpose of this collection is to inspire new ideas about justice and human rights in a transitional context broadly defined and to challenge widely held attitudes towards marginalized groups who are often denied basic rights and freedoms through formal and informal discrimination.

“Transitions” is a multimedia exploration of transitional justice in various conflicted and post-conflict societies around the world. Spanning three continents and four countries, this exhibit considers the challenges of accountability and equality from the perspective of multiple individual viewpoints, giving intimate glimpses into the successes and difficulties these communities face in coming and living together.

“On the Margins” is a collection of inspiring stories and testimonies from the Roma community that questions widely held stereotypes and images, challenging viewers to reexamine their own viewpoints and prejudices about this unique and diverse community.

This collection strives to foster the development of new ideas about justice and equality as well as build solidarity among fellow citizens in society.
