Dialogue with experts as we examine humanitarian issues, and the principles at the core of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Presented through the assistance of the family of Evelyn T. and Raymond I. Geraldson.

This one-day conference seeks to push the traditional bounds of human rights programming and explore an effective, yet underutilized, method of human rights education and communication the arts. Panels will address the use of art as a therapeutic outlet for the artists, the use of mediums in interactive education and communication efforts, and the use of art as a means of storytelling and documentation.
