The list of the projects chosen for the 6th Ideas Fair is now available. The event was created by Conectas and is hosted by Sesc 24 de Maio, to celebrate International Human Rights Day in the month of December.
Nineteen projects will be exhibited at the Fair. They are focused on promoting and carrying out human rights on different themes, such as migration, women´s rights, fighting labour analogous to slavery, the prison system and combatting racism. The event will take place on 3 and 4 December 2022, from 11am to 6pm on Saturday and from 11am to 5pm on Sunday, at the Sesc 24 de Maio (Rua 24 de maio, 109 – República), in São Paulo.
The proposals that were selected address different aspects of human rights and reflect the fair´s desire to leverage creative encounters and to form connections in the ongoing work of commitment to life within the scenario of the profound transformations that have taken place in the field of human rights in recent years, marked by the Covid 19 pandemic.
The projects were selected by the curators who are professionals from Conectas and Sesc. They prioritised projects that demonstrate the greatest potential for getting the public to interact and engage at the event. The curators also considered diversity, in terms of race, gender and sexual orientation in selecting the projects. The curators offer their thanks for all the projects that were submitted and stress the high standards of all the proposals they received.
