DESCRIPTION:The International Human Rights Art Movement announces its secon
 d IHRAF Festival: Queens\, adding to its annual IHRAF Festival roster (3 t
 his year)\, September 18-20\, 2026\, at the Court Square Theater in Long I
 sland City. The IHRAF Festival uses creativity and beauty to fight for hum
 an rights and social justice\, and fight against authoritarianism and divi

  in their home countries. We bring together all members of society\, from 
 artists in-exile and at risk\; to activists on the front lines of the stru
 ggle for rights and justice\; to creators working in all media\; to nation
 al and international politicians\, government agencies\, social leaders an
 d celebrities. Creative engagement with all members of the society is the 
 surest path toward positive change. IHRAF: Queens is made possible by gene
 rous support from Alliance of Resident Theatres-NY\, Citizens Committee fo
 r New York City\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts: Queens Arts Fu
 nd (QAF ) .\n\nSource: https://events.qns.com/event/international-human-ri
