Without the people who have stood and continue to stand up for peace and freedom for all of us, our world would certainly be a different place today. The painting "33 Democrats" by contemporary artist Catharina Chietti shows 33 of these personalities from the past and present. The painting will be on display in the Salmen from May 1 to September 6, accompanied by the life stories of the people featured.

As part of the special exhibition, this cultural break is dedicated to the biographies of two of the democrats depicted: Peter Benenson, founder of the independent human rights organization Amnesty International, and the Iraqi human rights activist Nadia Murad, who received the Nobel Peace Prize for her fight against sexualized war violence. You will learn more about their stories and gain a more detailed insight into the picture.
