Human Rights Tattoo

Ben jij bereid om je voor een leven lang aan de mensenrechten te committeren door middel van een tatoeage? Om er iedere dag aan herinnerd te worden en er over te praten voor de rest van je leven?

Human Rights Tattoo tatoeëert Universele Verklaring van de Rechten van de Mens letter-voor-letter op 6773 mensen wereldwijd. Ieder individu krijgt één letter. De tattoo herinnert je dagelijks aan de mensenrechten en met de tattoo als gespreksonderwerp draag je het belang van de mensenrechten uit. Welke letter je krijgt, kun je niet kiezen, dat zal de eerstvolgende in de declaratie zijn. Welk lettertype en waar op het lichaam is wel een eigen keus. Zo wordt één tekst gedragen door 6773 individuen die de mensenrechten diep in hun hart en dicht onder hun huid koesteren. De complete tekst, leesbaar in tatoeages, wordt als community bijeengebracht op www.humanrightstattoo.org.

Human Rights Tattoo
A square centimetre of your skin for human rights

1 centimetre of your skin for human rights. Are you willing to commit to human rights for a lifetime by getting a Human Rights Tattoo? To be reminded of it every single day and talk about it for the rest of your life?

The Human Rights Tattoo project (HRT) is an art project to create awareness and to underline the importance of Human Rights. Our goal is to tattoo the complete Declaration of Human Rights on individuals, letter by letter. The complete text of the Declaration contains 6773 letters. Each person gets one character. This means that in the end, there is a group of 6773 people from all around the world with the complete Declaration of Human Rights under their skin. The aim of Human Rights Tattoo is to connect people on a human level and on a worldwide scale. By tattooing this text, one of the most important texts in the history of humanity, on a group of 6773 people around the world, we are creating
a living work of art. Connecting these people
as one; one in what they believe in, one in what they stand for and one in the way that every letter counts equally. This makes Human Rights Tattoo
 community artwork in its purest sense; created with, for and by the community. The idea of Human Rights Tattoo is simple and understandable for everyone. However, it provokes a challenging question; are you willing to commit yourself to these rights, being remembered by your tattoo daily, and having to tell about your tattoo and Human Rights for the rest of your
life? All 6773 participants of HRT will remind themselves of Human Rights and will be human rights ambassadors in their own environment. Think about it; if all participants talk about their Human Rights Tattoo weekly, that will be 1000 conversations a day, for the rest of their lives!
