Dear Luc,

A group of contemporary artists, whose works grapple with the challenges of our time, is hosting an auction to benefit Human Rights Watch!

The auction, 20 21 Artists in Support of Human Rights Watch, will take place on the online platform, Artsy. Curated by WILLAS contemporary, it showcases a collection of 41 works of photography, textile, sculpture, and other mediums that tell the story of the past through the eyes of 41 established and emerging artists. It will run online until March 18, 2021.

While the Covid-19 pandemic has exposed deep inequalities in our societies, it has also shone a light on our global connectedness and shared responsibility for one another. The auction marks this moment by honoring our shared sense of community. The 41 artists in the show include several renowned and established artists, as well as a cohort of new and emerging artists that they have nominated to participate.

Art has the power to illuminate the world in novel and insightful ways. These artists connect us to the world in compelling new ways by spotlighting inspiring human stories of survival, resilience, and kindness.
