Painters for Human Rights is a platform for painters to use their creativity and art to promote Human Rights. Painters of all mediums, nationality, creed or religion are welcome to express themselves! We live in turbulent times, and the importance of promoting and preserving man's inalienable rights can not be overstated. As artists we have a purpose in this society. In fact we embody such rights as the "Freedom of Thought (18)" and the "Freedom of Speech" (19). We artists are peaceful people, we do not fight wars, but if we do "fight" it is in form of new ideas and concepts which we express through our Works of Art.

Poem on Human Rights


-Artwork by Susi Galloway ©2006

Human rights there be fights
Human rights are your rights
Enslavers and depots say no
Human rights there be fights

Human rights are your freedoms
Know them, demand them, defend them
The right to be, the right to do, the right to have
Human rights there be fights

Human rights you first have to believe you deserve
No dictator will tell you your rights
Your belief in your rights are your might
Human rights there will be fights

Your right to communicate
Your right to think
Your right to create
Human rights there be fights

The enslavers try to say you’re crazy when you demand your rights
Human rights are your rights
Human rights are your mights
Human rights never slight
