Using art, films, and theatre in peace and human rights activism is not new. Many civil society groups around the world use art as a way to enable people to explore human rights, democracy, and peace, even in countries where free voices are restricted. Thanks to the open ended nature of the language used in art it is always subject to interpretation and, in this way, offers a more democratic and flexible manner to set a meaningful conversation into motion. One can hardly doubt the critical necessity of creativity and art in framing the issues that exist in a society. The necessity of this approach is even greater in places where these issues have become taboo and have little chance to become a topic for open public discussion.
