What does design contribute to human rights?
MU and We Are Foundation host a Design and Human Rights Forum on 19 April. We Are Foundation asked itself: how does design contribute to human rights issues? The conclusion was that there is much room left for improvement. The goal of the Design and Human Rights Forum is to brainstorm about ways in which design can support human rights defenders in their practice.
Human rights defenders are often forced to work in very hostile environments, with a scarcity of resources and a lack of allies. They are constantly confronted with threats such as incarceration, enforced disappearance and violence.
The design initiative We Are Foundation, in collaboration with Justice & Peace Netherlands, and MU, wants to open up a dialogue between the government, human rights defenders and creatives, in order to explore ways in which design can support human rights defenders in their practice.
On 19 April, you can expect presentations by We Are Foundation about their project We Are Human Rights, and by Justice & Peace about their initiative Shelter City. Next to this, there will be workshops with international human rights defenders. Our goal is to jump start an engaging conversation.
We Are Foundation is a strategic design agency for societal impact. As such, the foundation strives to promote the application of design as an extensive tool for problem-solving, as well as to extend its scope to fields such as international law and ethics. With their project We Are Human Rights, We Are Foundation tries to establish a role for design in problem solving for human rights issues.
Justice & Peace has developed the Shelter City. This initiative provides shelter, rest and respite to human right defenders at risk, while providing them trainings with relevant knowledge, and contacts to support them in their future jobs.

The single-room frame First African Baptist Church was built in 1935, replacing an early church built in 1893. As a place of worship, the church was the center of community life, serving not only the religious, but also the educational needs of the people. On one corner of the front facade is a small marble plaque set in concrete with names of church leaders.
The church is located on the north end of Cumberland Island where former enslaved people established a community following the Civil War. They were squatters having no formal ownership of the land. In the early 1890s the owners of a newly established resort hotel purchased a five acre tract on the north end of the island, and divided the land into small lots that were sold to blacks living in the area. By selling the land, the hotel owners were providing themselves with a ready accessible labor pool. By acquiring legal title to property, the former enslaved and their descendants were able to live and work in their home community. Further, they were able to preserve their cultural practices and folkways.
The black people who lived in community called "The Settlement," are gone. The Cumberland National Seashore owns and maintains the church. The church building is located in the High Point - Half Moon Bluff Historic District listed on the National Register of historic Places and is a contributing property.

Looking along Comenius Square to the church tower.
"The Church of St. James the Elder is a Gothic city church in Kutná Hora. Construction took place from the first half of the 14th century until the 15th century, and the Parler metallurgy also contributed. The church is easily recognizable thanks to the pair of towers of the western facade, of which the northern one measures 80m and the southern one was never completed. In 1995, together with other monuments of the historical center of Kutná Hora, it was registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The temple is designed as a three-nave hall with a cross rib vault. This means that all its naves are the same height – here 19 m. To the east is an elongated presbytery ending in a polygonal finial. The peculiarity is that the last gap between the pillars in the western part of the nave is approximately half the distance between the other pillars in the church. The Gothic church does not have a developed support system like, for example, the church of St. Barbory, but with more space-saving support pillars. They also appear here in two sizes: the older type is higher and the younger type is lower. The church stands just a short distance from the slope on the south side.
Kutná Hora (Czech pronunciation: [ˈkutnaː ˈɦora]; medieval Czech: Hory Kutné; German: Kuttenberg) is a town in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 21,000 inhabitants. The centre of Kutná Hora, including the Sedlec Abbey and its ossuary, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 because of its outstanding architecture and its influence on subsequent architectural developments in other Central European city centres. Since 1961, the town centre is also protected by law as an urban monument reservation, the fourth largest in the country.
Kutná Hora is located about 52 kilometres (32 mi) east of Prague. The eastern part of the municipal territory lies in a flat agricultural landscape of the Central Elbe Table lowland. The western part lies in the Upper Sázava Hills and includes the highest point of Kutná Hora, the hill Malý Kuklík at 359 m (1,178 ft) above sea level. The Vrchlice Stream flows through the town.
Bohemia (Latin Bohemia, German Böhmen, Polish Czechy) is a region in the west of the Czech Republic. Previously, as a kingdom, they were the center of the Czech Crown. The root of the word Czech probably corresponds to the meaning of man. The Latin equivalent of Bohemia, originally Boiohaemum (literally "land of Battles"), which over time also influenced the names in other languages, is derived from the Celtic tribe of the Boios, who lived in this area from the 4th to the 1st century BC Bohemia on it borders Germany in the west, Austria in the south, Moravia in the east and Poland in the north. Geographically, they are bounded from the north, west and south by a chain of mountains, the highest of which are the Krkonoše Mountains, in which the highest mountain of Bohemia, Sněžka, is also located. The most important rivers are the Elbe and the Vltava, with the fertile Polabean Plain extending around the Elbe. The capital and largest city of Bohemia is Prague, other important cities include, for example, Pilsen, Karlovy Vary, Kladno, Ústí nad Labem, Liberec, Hradec Králové, Pardubice and České Budějovice, Jihlava also lies partly on the historical territory of Bohemia." - info from Wikipedia.

The Ellett's Opera Hall was built in 1884 by Albert W. Ellet. The first floor of the Italianate style building was designed to house businesses. The second floor, with four Italianate style windows, housed the opera hall. The building is topped with a stylist, simi-circular, center roof parapet. Over the years, the first floor façade underwent various modifications. The second floor continued as an opera house through the early 20th Century. By 1923, the second floor was no longer used as an opera house. In 1946, the second floor was occupied by a dance hall. Over the years, the second floor hosted numerous productions and community events. The second floor was vacant for decades going into the 21st century. Some portions of the second floor was converted to housing units. The building is in the El Dorado Downtown Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing property.

Constructed in 1898, Hotel Castañeda holds the distinction of being the inaugural trackside hotel by Fred Harvey. It was the first Harvey House built in the Mission Revival architectural style, setting the standard for subsequent Harvey properties. Situated on the rail line that connected Las Vegas, New Mexico, with Chicago and Los Angeles, the Hotel Castaneda ceased operations in 1948. As late as 1980 the building was used as a hotel. However, it was in a constant state of renovation and repair. In 2014, the building was acquired by new owners, and after restoration efforts commenced in 2018, the hotel welcomed guests once again in 2019.
The building, a two-story structure made of red brick, features a U-shaped plan. Its primary facade and the courtyard are oriented towards the tracks, with a prominent entrance pavilion crowned by a cupola at the center. An arcaded veranda wraps around the building, excluding the street-facing side. The building is situated in the Railroad Avenue Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing property.
Founded in 1881, the Cincinnati Art Museum was initially housed inside Music Hall prior to moving to its present location in Eden Park in 1886, with the original building having since been surrounded by newer buildings constructed in the Classical Revival and Modern styles. The first purpose-built art museum west of the Appalachian Mountains, the building complex has grown massively in size over time to accommodate an ever-growing collection, with many wings named after wealthy local benefactors who contributed their personal art collections to the museum in the early 20th Century.
The 1886 Richardsonian Romanesque Revival-style building was designed by James W. McLaughlin, and features a rough-hewn stone exterior and roman arched bays, a grand hall beneath a mansard roof with a skylight, home to a grand staircase, and a tall tower with a pyramidal hipped roof. The building was originally intended to extend to the east, which later was carried out with the addition of the Alms Wing, designed by Rendigs, Panzer, and Martin, and built on the east side of the Grand Hall in 1937, which was a Romanesque Revival-style addition that closely matched the appearance of the original structure. In 1887, a Romanesque Revival-style building, known as the Longworth Wing, was designed by James W. McLaughlin, and constructed to the northwest of the museum to house the Art Academy of Cincinnati, which features a rough-hewn stone exterior, and was home to the Art Academy of Cincinnati until the school moved to Over-the-Rhine in 2005. The wing was modified after a fire in 1939, a fact which was later used as justification to gut the wing entirely and place a contemporary penthouse atop the exterior stone walls in a renovation project by Emersion Design completed in 2013, with the wing today housing administrative offices and the Mary R. Schiff Library and Archives.
In 1907, the building was extended to the north with the Classical Revival-style Schmidlapp Wing, which was designed by Daniel H. Burnham, and presently serves as the main entrance to the building, with a portico featuring fluted doric columns, a pediment summited by an acroterion at the peak of the roof, and an architrave with triglyphs, with the interior featuring brass railings on the second floor balconies, circular handrails on the marble staircase to the second floors, and doric columns around the perimeter of the main lobby. In 1910, the Classical Revival-style Ropes Wing, designed by Garber and Woodward, was added to the north side of the original building, filling in a courtyard between the grand hall and west wing of the building, featuring a limestone facade and large openings on the first floor, which today connect the Terrace Cafe to the museum courtyard. Another series of expansions in the Classical Revival style, carried out by Garber and Woodward, extend the museum building to the north in 1930, with the addition of the Emery Wing on the north side of the original building’s west wing, stretching north to the Art Academy of Cincinnati building, the French Wing, on the eastern flank of the Art Academy of Cincinnati building, and the Hanna Wing, extending east from the French Wing to the Schmidlapp Wing, which all feature limestone exteriors with few windows, an ionic colonnade at a second-story portico on the facade of the Hanna Wing, and large window openings facing into the courtyard from the Emery Wing.
The principal south facade of the original museum building and the adjacent Alms Wing were obscured behind the modernist International style Adams-Emery Wing in 1965, which was designed by Potter, Tyler, Martin and Roth, with the main entrance to the museum being shifted to the portion of the Schmidlapp Wing, and the formerly welcoming south facade being transformed into a largely windowless expanse of limestone panels, with a glass storefront at the first floor, surrounded by a frame of stone trim, and seemingly irregularly-placed storefronts and punched window openings elsewhere on the facade, lending the museum a fortress or bunker-like quality on its facade that is the most prominently visible from the adjacent park. In 1993, the museum was renovated, and portions of the facade of the original building were exposed inside the area where the Adams-Emery Wing and original wing meet, the Grand Hall inside the original structure was restored, and historic finishes were restored inside the galleries and lobbies of the building’s older wings.
The Cincinnati Art Museum has continued its endeavors to improve the visitor experience in recent years, with the opening of the Art Climb in 2020, the new Wyler Family Entrance in 2022, a new arrival plaza in front of the entrance to the Schmidlapp Wing, and an increase in the diversity of artists and artworks represented in the collection and displayed within the museum. The museum today anchors the west side of Eden Park, and features the largest collection of any art museum in the state of Ohio.
