TEHR is back, the festival, now in its seventh edition, which aims to tell themes related to human rights through the arts and which, despite being a house always open to welcoming voices on rights, concentrates, through cinema, theater, music, exhibitions, meetings, conversations, in the month of December of each year a program, spread across various locations in the Capital and built on the theme chosen for the year and this year has as its title, The Earth Victim of War. Partners of this edition are, Roma Tre University, Fondazione Teatro Palladium, Nuovo Cinema Aquila, Aska News, Libreria Raponi, Casa Internazionale delle Donne, Indiecinema, Stati Generali delle donne, Rete del Caffè Sospeso, International Human Rights Festival of Naples, Mediterraneo Festival Corto. “This year I wanted to dedicate the theme of the festival to The Earth Victim of War, because in fact the greed and stupidity of man can drag us towards very dark and dangerous scenarios. Wars have, since man exists, caused many wounds to humanity but the instruments of destruction that man has in his hands today are really very, very invasive and nature is a silent victim, suffering from wounds that perhaps will never heal, much of its habitat is destroyed, many countries use animals as weapons of war, from 1950 to 2000 80 percent of fire conflicts have damaged biodiversity, furthermore we are destroying the future of our young people, young people fight and die in war, those who survive will have hellish psychological damage, and where there are no wars again young people are more exposed to dangers, but above all what world are we leaving to young people? TEHR is conquering, year after year, more and more public participation and involvement by new partners, in particular I like to highlight the growing interest of young people, who demonstrate to be attentive and sensitive on issues related to human rights" so Isabel Russinova, creator and artistic director of the Festival.
