IHRAM QUARTERLY LITERARY MAGAZINE Indigenous Voices

OUT NOW — IN PRINT!

Throughout history and across the globe, Indigenous people have faced silenced voices, profound injustices, and forced displacement from their homes and communities. However, they continue to rise; sharing their stories with courage and pride and beautifully threading their ideas of spirituality and mythology into the innate fabric of their narratives. The authors and artists in Indigenous Voices urge us to challenge the past, draw insight from their themes, and carry their knowledge into our present and future.

If art is a window, consider this magazine a direct line — a can and string mechanism — to a fellow human, a world away. The beauty of the International Human Rights Art Movement is that we are not just another soldier in the fight for global human equality; we are a peaceful space for human connection and reflection. We envision a world where artist activism is honored as a human right, and a source of social change.
