Spring 2026 Consultations on Arts + Human Rights
Arts + Human Rights in Conversation
The Human Rights Research and Education Centre (HRREC) is deepening its exploration of the connections between the arts and human rights with this new three-part online series. The series aims to advance critical conversations and collaborative research, and activities involving the arts and human rights.
Artists, Artificial Intelligence, and Human Rights
On April 1 2026 I organized on behalf of HRREC, University of Ottawa, a virtual multidisciplinary conversation entitled Artists, artificial intelligence, and human rights about the positive and negative aspects of AI on human creativity, and how new technologies impact concepts of identity, community, place, and time. This was the third session in the three-part series, the Arts + Human Rights in Conversation.
