Abstrakt: The interdisciplinary book "Artistic Representations of Suffering: Rights, Resistance, and Remembrance" explores how visual artists interact with suffering, including acts of protest, offering hope, and healing through creative expressions. The healing potential of art is entangled with human rights issues, as art can advocate for human rights and challenge existing symbolic orders. The book also discusses the role of art in reflecting on international criminal justice and promoting and protecting human rights. Overall, the volume offers diverse approaches to understanding art's potential to address suffering in various contexts. [Extracted from the article]
