On 10 December 2016, the International Day of Human Rights, and we organize Global Videos; about 30 to 40 video-artists from every part of the globe, showing art-video's about human rights, each video max. 2,5 minutes.

We organize this screening in Zaandam, the Netherlands. But our befriended curators host screenings of the same videos in their countries.

Global Videos will be shown at 10 December at:
Sala-Manca, Jerusalem, Israel,
Studio Seven, Karachi, Pakistan,
Gallery Mcube, Kathmandu-valley, Nepal,
Beechwood House, Moffat, Scotland,
Studio Sonia Gil, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
Chovekot pred se, Skopje, Macedonia,
Galleria Rajatila, Tampere, Finland and
Podium de Flux, Zaandam, the Netherlands
We are open for more venues.

Open Call for Curators:
the aim is to show not only international video-art, but also to show it at as many places as possible. So we can really bring the importance of Human Rights under the attention of a global audience. Curators can make the evening as big or as small as they prefer; from a living-room setting to a gallery-screening, etc. In November we will send our partners an USB-stick with all the videos and some brochures. All venues start screening of Global Videos at 20.00 local time. We only want in return some photos made during this event plus invitations/posters, so we can make a good documentation about all screenings.

Curators how are interested in also hosting this screening, can send us an email and we will contact you a.s.a.p.  

Open Call for Video-Artists:
video-artists from every part of the globe can apply to participate in this project. We are searching for videos that show why Human Rights are inportant, why should we be thankful for them, etc. Because this is an art-project, we want to stay out political debats, therefore videos with an universal appeal have our preference.
