-In what way is ART a tool for activism?

Art is a direct reflection of not only the times we live in but the difficulties and injustices we experience as beings.

- In what way does your chosen piece for HRW reflect 2020?

In this project, Jacqueline portrays her best friend Ceval Omar. Telling our own story and leading our own narrative, showing strength and vulnerability in times we feel unseen, couldn’t be more true for 2020. I see you and appreciate you and in return, I myself felt seen and appreciated.

- What gives you hope?

What gives us hope is people striving for justice and equality regardless of their gender, race and religious beliefs, coming together to fight for what’s right and important, no matter our circumstances and obstacles. People give us hope.

-Ceval Omar & Jacqueline Landvik
