Reviews
Art is one of our best inventions. In this volume artists and scholars explore how artworks are able to resist and transform the structural violence inherent in Human Rights failures. A welcome contribution to understanding the epistemic differences as well as the ethical and political overlaps between art practice and IR scholarship. --Lola Frost, King's College London This is an innovative and exciting collection. Drawing together an impressive range of scholars and artists, working across different media and traditions, the assembled conversations illuminate the numerous ways that the arts can contribute to the pursuit of human rights around the world. Rich, rewarding, and challenging, Creating Justice will be of interest to scholars and human rights practitioners. --Duncan Bell, University of Cambridge A tour de force across several academic disciplines and artforms, this refreshingly innovative volume creatively reconsiders human rights abuses through exciting, mutually illuminating boundary crossings between the academic and the artistic worlds, too often out of sync with each other. Combining grounded theorizing with autobiographical testimony, it is a must read for anyone seeking to understand the messy and ever-changing reality of political violence and to imagine a way forward. --Mihaela Mihai, University of Edinburgh
