Human Rights Tattoo
THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS UNITED IN 6773 TATTOOED LETTERS
The Human Rights Tattoo project is an art project to create awareness and underline the importance of Human Rights. Visual art collective Tilburg CowBoys and Festival Mundial are tattooing the complete Declaration of Universal Human Rights with the full 6773 characters on 6773 human beings around the world. Having a letter of the Human Rights Declaration means you are reminded of yours and everybody else’s rights. It is a way of putting your signature under the Declaration of Human Rights only this time a piece of the document is signed on you. The group will be united on this website where every letter of the text is clickable, so one can see who is behind every tattooed letter. Every person and every tattoo is documented by a photo of the tattooed letter, a name and a motivation in text.
