ABOUT THE FESTIVAL:

We are a festival with a mission. A wide and diverse range of New Orleans community activists founded our festival, and we are dedicated to nurturing our city’s human rights community, supporting the work of local organizers and organizations involved in these struggles, and linking local issues to international issues. Our goal is to raise
awareness of these issues and provide a forum for artistic expression of these themes.
