    The Draft

    The Draft is both a student publication and a community of activists, organizers, aspiring journalists, and artists. Our goal is to provide a space where student work pertaining to both international and local issues of social, political, economic, and cultural inequality can be shared with a larger audience. Contact Austin Dilley, editor, at [email protected] for more information or to submit to the journal.
  • Human Rights Radio

    Human Rights Radio

    Produced by the Human Rights Sound Lab, Human Rights Radio features sound pieces created by students; edited talks from the Human Rights Project lecture series; interviews with leading human rights scholars, practitioners, activists, and artists; and stories from Bard’s network campuses around the world. If you’re interested in joining the Sound Lab’s student media collective or have an idea for a sound project and want to make it happen, contact the Human Rights Project at [email protected].

    OSUN Center for Human Rights & the Arts at Bard College 

    The OSUN Center for Human Rights & the Arts at Bard College (CHRA) researches, inspires, and supports the intersection of art and human rights. At its heart is a perspective that looks beyond art institutions and nonprofit organization industries to engage with international practices of activism, art, and knowledge production. 

    The center is committed to creating networks of collaboration and solidarity and to enriching the conversation on the political potential of contemporary art within human rights discourse. Through its postgraduate masters of art program, it opens a space for activists, artists, and scholars to colearn and cocreate. Through its public program—operating locally in New York’s Hudson Valley (occupied homelands of the Munsee and Muhheaconneok people) and internationally—the center engages with innovative art practices that investigate human rights violations and grassroots activism that uses creative tools of resistance.

    CHRA supports multidisciplinary and collaborative knowledge production through annual resident research fellowships, research grants for students and faculty, yearly commissions for artists, public talks series, free and accessible publications, and a multidisciplinary biennial arts festival in partnership with the Fisher Center at Bard and other OSUN institutions and art venues around the world.
