Talks on Human Rights & the Arts 3: Common Ground is the third volume in talks by activists, scholars, and artists from around the globe. This collection is curated around the themes of land and food rights. The talks were presented at the Center for Human Rights and the Arts at Bard College (CHRA) in association with Common Ground: An International Festival on the Politics of Land and Food, produced by the Fisher Center at Bard LAB. Through their own words and conversations with others, the talks make evident the richness and range of contemporary practices at the intersection of human rights and the arts.

“We reclaimed moments of disobedience found in harvest gatherings, seed exchanges, humor despite catastrophe, and a rootedness in the ground—a ground that is common to all yet capable of regenerating even through toxicity.” – Tania El Khoury
