The UK Guantánamo Network, in collaboration with Amnesty International UK, proudly presents “Don’t Forget Us Here”, an exhibition of art created by former* Guantánamo Bay detainees, shedding light on the injustice of indefinite detention without trial or charge.
This poignant exhibition aims to illustrate that the prisoners have stories, emotions, dignity and humanity. The pieces offer a rare and personal insight into the lives of those who suffered and are a call to remember their experiences and the ongoing fight for justice. This exhibition is not only a space for art but also a platform for raising awareness about the human rights violations that have occurred in Guantánamo Bay and the continued struggles for justice and accountability.
This event is a not-for-profit initiative, organized entirely through the support of charitable donations and volunteer efforts. No one involved in the event, including the artists, is receiving payment. All contributions are dedicated to the success of the event and the cause it supports.
