Blondell Cummings lead a workshop series in the Fall of 2008 on Meditations of the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights. The series explored The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights in a series of interdisciplinary workshops. Using observation and research materials from personal, local and global perspectives, human rights issues were explored through traditional and non-traditional approaches, partnerships and collaborations. Artists in all media and non-artists were invited to contribute and realize their ideas and points of view. This three week workshop concluded with a final performance installation open to the entire New School community.
