For our family human

“For our Family Human” is a rhyming poem adaptation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) crafted by Dan Cadan. Released on December 10, 2024—Human Rights Day—this poignant film was executive produced by Smiley Movement, in collaboration with Bill Shipsey, Art for Human Rights, and W Communications, to bring the spirit of human rights to life through the power of poetry. 

The film features contributions from 17 collaborators associated with Art for Human Rights, including renowned artists, activists, and partners such as Nazanin Boniadi, Kuoth Wiel, Ayat Najafi, Sukriti Yadava, Jewher Illham, Colum McCann, Muleya Mwananyanda, Barbora Bukovska, Joao Pina, Michael O’Flaherty, Badiucao, Melissa Chan, Anna Vošalíková, Seán Binder, Lara Manbeck, and Shayda Hessami.

Art for Human Rights brings together artists of all disciplines to raise awareness of human rights violations. We use art to inspire action, so that freedom, equality and dignity become a reality for all.
