Here, within the largest democracy \u003cbr\u003ein the world (conditional though it may be), incarcerated people suffer \u003cbr\u003eindignities from terrible living conditions to physical and sexual \u003cbr\u003eviolence, all under the aegis of justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a tool to discuss the limits and ideals of \u003cbr\u003ehuman rights within a carceral state, artists at Stateville Prison, who \u003cbr\u003estruggle daily for their own human rights, created block prints of each \u003cbr\u003earticle in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The process of \u003cbr\u003edrawing, carving, and inking each print created the time and space for \u003cbr\u003eartists to critique and reflect on the ways the declaration is \u003cbr\u003esimultaneously aspirational, strategic, and fraught with the legacy of \u003cbr\u003ethe violence of its founding states. For universal human rights to be \u003cbr\u003erelevant, it is essential that the most impacted people be heard and \u003cbr\u003etheir vision of human rights centered. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book features the 30 brilliantly crafted \u003cbr\u003eprints presented alongside the corresponding articles from the \u003cbr\u003edeclaration. The artists and authors ask essential questions of what it \u003cbr\u003emeans to build a culture of human rights from below rather than \u003cbr\u003einstitute rights from above.
