Guantanamo: Legality, Art and Resistance Workshop

This event will bring together scholars, lawyers, artists, and former Guantanamo Bay detainees to address the legal, political and artistic contributions of artwork created by individuals formerly detained by the United States in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba

Date(s)

Location
Main Site Tower - 08.014
Time
09:30 - 16:00

The event will be hosted by the Human Rights Centre and the Transitional Justice Cluster at the Law School. The goal of the workshop is to bring attention to the massive violations of international law experience by these former detainees, to underscore the creative agency, human rights and collective humanity of those who created this art, and to further identify and highlight the material, artistic culture developed by those formerly detained to process and express their own experiences of harm, trauma, and resilience. It will draw out connections between art and transition, art and accountability, art and memorialization, and art as testimony familiar to the post-conflict space in Northern Ireland, drawing on other previous artistic endeavors in the jurisdiction.
