ART is our ARTillery to defend human rights!
ARTillery is pushing the boundaries of Australia's arts scene.
ARTillery artists shed light on the dark side of humanity, and inspire us to see the world differently.
At ARTillery events, you are no longer a bystander. You create change.
We challenge local up-and-coming visual artists, musicians, actors, dancers and spoken word artists to communicate human rights messages through their different art forms. ARTillery is about young people going to an exhibition or a gig with your favourite local artists but at the same time finding out about issues like poverty, torture, refugees, violence, censorship and indigenous rights. It’s about young people making a real difference on human rights issues in a way that is creative and fun.
At each event, you'll be contributing to worldwide campaigns that call for an end to human rights injustices. To find out more about the campaigns, see www.amnesty.org.au
ARTillery is an initiative of Amnesty International Australia, run by young volunteer activists. This year ARTillery is focussing on key human rights campaign opportunities. In 2012 ARTillery will be mobilising creatives and activists to use art as their artillery to create change.
ARTillery is working on a festival of arts activism during June 2012 to inspire you to take action in support of a global arms trade treaty in the lead up to the July UN meeting.
Take a look at our 2011 events and think about how you could creatively promote this campaign in your region.
