Ibrahim Mahama

Through monumental installations made from repurposed jute sacks and found materials, Ghanian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores themes of labor, resource extraction, and migration, drawing upon the material legacy of colonialism.


The jute sack – manufactured in Southeast Asia, imported into Ghana to transport commodities like cocoa, and then redistributed across global markets – bears the marks of countless hands and stories of trade and exploitation.


Through his community-driven spaces, including Savannah Centre for Contemporary Art (SCCA) and Red Clay Studio in Tamale, Mahama nurtures creativity in the region and new ways of seeing. His work reminds us that art can be a powerful force for social change, inspiring us to shape a fairer, more just world.

Robert Rauschenberg, Human Rights (Tribute 21), 1994. offset lithograph, 27 in. × 41 in. (68.58 cm × 104.14 cm). Collection SFMOMA, Gift of Felissimo. © Robert Rauschenberg Foundation; published by Felissimo.

Robert Rauschenberg

Robert Rauschenberg’s long-standing commitment to using art as a catalyst for change continues to inspire today.


In October 1994, several luminaries from art, politics, fashion, and commerce gathered in Robert Rauschenberg’s Lower Manhattan studio to witness the unveiling of Tribute 21, a series of twenty-two poster-size prints the artist had produced for a newly formed humanitarian aid project, also called Tribute 21.


Conceived by Japanese corporation Felissimo and bolstered by Rauschenberg’s artistic vision, this initiative sought to harness art’s power to promote social, economic, and cultural development and improve social conditions at the dawn of a new century.


Most of the Tribute 21 prints highlight an individual whose contributions to their respective field signaled a commitment to building a more peaceful, just, and flourishing society.


In ’Human Rights,’ Rauschenberg uses the haunting image of a chainlink fence to likely symbolize Nelson Mandela’s imprisonment during apartheid—powerfully evoking the struggle for freedom, justice, and equality.

Jenny Holzer

Since the 1970s, Jenny Holzer’s text-based works have been a powerful reminder of how art can connect us through empathy and our shared human experience.


Holzer’s art sparks conversations on the pressing issues of our time – from political conflict and war to social justice and gender equality. Her bold perspective continues to inspire the fight for human rights, and her ’Truisms’ resonate more deeply today than ever.


Through her work, Holzer challenges us to engage, reflect, and take action. She turns public spaces into places for open dialogue, where we can question, learn, and push for change.


As Holzer said, “I want people to think of the common good. Wouldn’t it be lovely if kindness would make a reappearance?”
