The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) presents the work of North Korean defector artist Song Byeok in an exhibit at the Minnesota Street Project. The exhibit, “Longing for Freedom,” is part of HRF’s Art in Protest Program and will be on view from November 1st through November 30th, 2018.
The opening reception will take place on Thursday, November 1st from 6-8 pm. The exhibit previously ran in Los Angeles and plans are being developed to take it to other cities.
In addition to the work by Song Byeok, HRF will be showcasing an interactive art installation: the Flash Drives for Freedom campaign. The campaign is designed to disrupt dictator Kim Jong-un’s propaganda machine by empowering North Koreans with information from the outside world.
Attendees are invited to bring their old USB drives to the exhibit and donate them to this cause. They will thoroughly wipe all donated drives before loading them with pop culture, news, and video content.
Donate your drives and join HRF’s campaign to raise awareness about the intersection of technology and human rights and the impact of sending news and information into closed societies.
