HUMAN RIGHTS ARE NOT JUST DISCUSSED. THEY ARE LIVED.

This week, world leaders are gathering at the United Nations for the 81st General Assembly, with discussions on peace, dignity, equality, climate action, the right to development, migration and the protection of human rights.

At the same time, the UN Human Rights Council is meeting in Geneva, addressing human rights situations across the world and hearing from governments, experts and civil society.

But human rights are not only written in declarations or discussed in meeting rooms.

They are experienced through people’s lives, memories, identities, journeys and stories.

And this is where art matters.

Art can give visibility to experiences that are ignored or unheard. It can create space for dialogue, challenge perceptions, preserve memory and allow people to tell their own stories — particularly those whose voices are too often absent from public conversations.

Through Human Rights Today, WE RESTART explores the relationship between art, human rights and lived experience, creating a growing space where artists and communities can document, question and share what human rights mean today.

Because every statistic represents a person.
Every displacement has a story.
Every right has a human face.

Human Rights Today. Art. Stories. Voices. Dignity.

Brent Refugee Week Celebration 2026 | Human Rights Festival 21 June 2026 | Ark Academy, Wembley Park

What does community really look like?

This short film captures the energy, creativity and human connections that made the Brent Refugee Week Celebration 2026 such a special day. Held on 21 June 2026 at Ark Academy, Wembley Park, the event formed part of both 2026 and the Human Rights Festival, bringing together hundreds of residents, artists, community organisations, volunteers and local leaders to celebrate the theme of Courage.

Throughout the afternoon, participants enjoyed live music, dance, interactive workshops, children's activities, exhibitions, storytelling and food. More than a celebration, the event created opportunities for people from different cultures and backgrounds to meet, learn from one another and build lasting connections.

The event was funded by Brent Council and Wembley Stadium Foundation through the Love Where You Live Fund, and delivered through a collaboration between WE RESTART Charity, Useful Productions, Salusbury World, and the many organisations that form the Brent Borough of Sanctuary network, whose dedication made the day possible.

At WE RESTART, we believe that arts and culture have the power to break down barriers, foster belonging and strengthen communities. This film is a celebration of everyone who contributed their time, creativity and passion to make the event a success.

Thank you to all the performers, artists, volunteers, partner organisations, funders and everyone who joined us on the day. Together, you demonstrated that welcoming communities are built through participation, creativity and solidarity.

🌍🕊️ 75 years of the Refugee Convention. 75 years of protecting hope.

Today we mark the 75th anniversary of the 1951 Refugee Convention—a landmark commitment to protect people forced to flee persecution, conflict and violence.

Behind every refugee is a story, a profession, a dream, and a talent. Too often, displacement hides the incredible creativity and skills people bring with them.

At WE RESTART, we believe that art is a human right, a universal language, and a powerful tool for dignity, healing and belonging. 🎨🎭🎶 Through our programmes, we support displaced artists to rebuild their creative practice, share their voices, and enrich the communities they now call home.

As part of this commitment, our Human Rights Today Digital Archive preserves stories, artworks and lived experiences that remind us that human rights are not just words on paper—they are lives, memories and futures worth protecting. 📚💙

On this anniversary, we celebrate resilience, creativity and the people who continue to inspire us every day.

Because protecting refugees also means protecting their culture, their creativity and their right to contribute.

💛 Stand with refugees. 🎨 Support displaced artists. 🕊️ Defend human rights.

✨ Today we had the pleasure of celebrating **C.R.E.W.** at **Heatherwick Studio** as part of the *Who Makes Space?* exhibition by FIAE + Heatherwick Studio. 🎉

Seeing this project recognised on such a prestigious platform is a proud moment for everyone involved. 🏆

👏 A huge congratulations to **Chrissy, Joshua and Samir** – the brilliant team behind **Inkline Studio** – for their vision, commitment and countless hours of hard work. It has been a privilege to collaborate with them through the **Human Rights Festival** and the **London Festival of Architecture 2026** on a project that brought architecture, art and community together. 🎨🏛️🤝

🌿 C.R.E.W. was never just about creating a place; it was about creating **belonging**. Every brushstroke, conversation and shared moment helped shape the future of the UK's first **Nature Connection Centre** in Roundwood Park, NW10. 💚

❤️ This recognition belongs to everyone who took part: the local residents, volunteers, artists, partners and supporters who contributed their time, creativity and energy. Together, you've shown how communities can shape spaces that truly reflect the people who use them. 🌍✨

🎊 Congratulations to everyone involved. We can't wait to see the next chapter of the Nature Connection Centre come to life! 🌱🍃
