About
“Cyrus Enters Babylon”, is inspired by those that fight for humanity. At a time when our rights are being trampled in many ways, in multiple locations, there is a need to be uplifted.
In the past there have been artists and leaders fighting against war and abuse to free the human spirit. In 1937, Pablo Picasso painted “Guernica”, arguably most powerful anti-war artwork ever created. “Cyrus Enters Babylon” responds to Picasso’s “Guernica” juxtaposing that historic conflict with contemporary human rights abuses and triumphs.
Organizer
Canadian Museum for Human Rights
Our mandate is to explore the subject of human rights, with special but not exclusive reference to Canada, in order to enhance the public's understanding of human rights, to promote respect for others, and to encourage reflection and dialogue.
