The Right to Be Human - January 19th - February 28th, 2017


The Right to Be Human

Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki Center of Contemporary Art, State Museum of Contemporary Art, Goethe

Institute, and School of Fine Arts of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki proudly announce

the opening of the exhibition The Right To Be Human, with an opening reception on

January 19 th at 20:00pm at Thessaloniki Center of Contemporary Art, Warehouse B1,

Port, Thessaloniki.

The exhibition is co-curated by the Art Historian, Critic and Professor Thalia Vrachopoulos at

John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York, and the Art Critic and

Professor Harry Savopoulos at the School of Fine Arts of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki,

and takes place at the following venues:

Center of Contemporary Art: January 19th through February 28th, 2017

Goethe Institute: February 9th through March 17th, 2017

OTE windows: mid-February through mid-March, 2017

The exhibition rebuts, re-examines, and rejects inequities and exemplifies the goals of

humanism and social justice. Global humanism and social justice share a common goal that

seeks to promote both individual and social rights of fair access to opportunity and benefit;

and to embrace equality as governing principle in all areas of modern life. In our current era

of crisis, wealth inequality, suppression of free speech, governmentally sanctioned

discrimination, religious intolerance and political corruption all stand as blockades to the

goals of humanism and social justice.

The artists featured in this exhibition come from diverse social and cultural backgrounds and

have been chosen by the curators because their work expresses social justice.
