Mission of the project


In reference to human rights too often is substantial the gap between principles and applications, between theories and real events, only in some cases brought to light by the media. Every project, every selfless act intended to support the development and effective implementation of these rights, it is a small step in the construction of a community building that protects every single person, regardless of culture or "religious" membership. From a sincere dialogue, respect, mutual understanding we should therefore provide new nonstop routes and perspectives patiently nurturing a genuine culture of human rights. We live in a media society, characterized by speed and easy accessibility of information, but the risk is to lose the connection with reality, with the micro, with the unique experiences of each human being. To act and react to this vision limiting and stereotypical of cultures, traditions, religions, it is necessary first of all, however, the desire to build something new, the willingness to report imbalances and violations, fighting without violence for the affirmation of human rights. It is a challenge now urgent that every person, every citizen of a globalized world can accept, ignore or fight. As human beings, in fact, we do not share only the place where we live, the earth, but also the future. The only way is therefore a sincere comparison, away from an ethnocentric and narcissistic attitude. Should be promoted tirelessly and selflessly sharing knowledge, listening to each other, away from the hype, hypocrisy, economic interests. Words like justice, solidarity, dialogue, respect, freedom, right too often are used in an instrumental way, making them empty. In this context, the exhibition "Faces, tales, Human Rights" part from individual experiences in an attempt to carve out a physical and mental space, where to compare ways of life and conceptions of "distant" from "our" experience. Behind each captured image, behind every personal story told, appear variegated experiences, emotions, many claiming to be "recognized". It 'an opportunity to gather with respect and "sacredness" the precious heritage of all human experience which intersects with the collective history.
