About the Workshop
In January 2024, CHRA and The Luma Foundation hosted a multidisciplinary array of practitioners including lawyers, artists, curators, and academics at Luma Westbau in Zurich, Switzerland to discuss the evolution of the evidentiary status of drawings by children.
The conference takes its cue from the 2007 ruling by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to admit children’s drawings as contextual evidence of war crimes. There is also a much broader history of the use of drawings by children to mobilize aid and other interventions, dating back to at least the Spanish Civil War.
