(Japan-USA)
“I have been an active supporter and proud member of Amnesty International for nearly two decades. There is no greater champion or stronger force for human rights in our world than Amnesty.
Freedom of expression is naturally dear to my heart and a fundamental and essential right - especially for artists. I am delighted to be part of “Art 19 Box One” joining my ten fellow international artists to support Amnesty and its partner, Art 19. Please support this important artistic endeavour.”
