Zürich in 100 years?

This year, the RFK Human Rights Switzerland Youth Ambassadors have been collaborating on projects with the art platform AIA | Awareness in Art. Together with volunteers and a documentary film maker, they are currently working on a series of short videos focusing on what cities will look like in 100 years from now and how our lives and communities will be affected by the problem of climate change. 

The project will consist of 5-6 videos, around 1-5 minutes in length. The videos will include interviews with people from marginalized groups or groups of people whose voices are not typically heard. Including elderly people, people with disabilities and refugees. There will also be interviews with organizations working with some of the marginalized groups, as well as climate activists. 

 The Youth Ambassadors are working on every stage of the project from brainstorming the interview questions, to traveling around Zürich to interview the subjects. The goal is to have the videos, that can be watched individually or as a short series, completed by December 2023 and shown at RFK events or school visits, as well as shared on our social media. 

We Are AIA | Awareness in Art and RFK Human Rights have been partners since 2021 and created several educational programs on the interface of arts and human rights. AIA is an art platform that produces outstanding and sustainable exhibition projects that raise awareness of complex issues through the prism of art.

If you are or you know someone who would have an interesting perspective and would be open to being interviewed for the videos, please reach out to our Youth Ambassadors at vittoria@rfkhumanrights.ch or on Instagram at rfkyouth.
