MIDDLETOWN—In light of persecution and terrorism around the world, an exhibit at SUNY Orange, which officially opened on Dec. 6, presented the work of high school students based on the Declaration of Human Rights.
A joint effort by the Orange County Human Rights Commission, the Orange County Arts Council, and SUNY Orange, the exhibit coincides with the UN’s adoption of the declaration on Dec. 10, 1948.
Students from high schools around the county created visual art—paintings, drawings, photographs, digital art, and sculpture—to express the meaning of an article in the declaration. Poetry and other literary submissions were displayed with the artwork.
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
