Series 1: Children Have Rights (1997)
The project Children Have Rights was undertaken in 1997 in collaboration with four Brisbane schools. In workshops led by teachers and artists, children talked about their human rights, and then created images to showcase the rights of children. The exhibition of fifty images was hung in conjunction with the first Australasian conference on Children's Rights, held in Brisbane at Queensland University of Technology in April 1997.
Children Have Rights toured to twelve locations in regional Queensland with the support of the Queensland Arts Council. Work from the collection was published in the Australian Government’s Joint Standing Committee on Treaties report in 1998. An exhibition of the collection was held at State Library of Queensland in 2013 in collaboration with the Children’s Commission of Queensland, and a reunion was held to reconnect with former child artists and their teachers.
Works of art from this collection are held in Box 14914 O/S
Documentation, including photographic slides relating to this collection forms part of Series 10: Documentation.
