It’s been a while since I last posted so thought I’d just do an update of some more press. Firstly I was interviewed for an article in issue 162 of Computer Arts, so a big thank you to Garrick Webster and Tom Dennis for that. The article showcased some of DAHRA’s upcoming work – such as a film on Tibet and a project with HypeforType

Whilst this is extremely embarrassing, and I’m not sure I should feature it, I was also interviewed by Media140 whilst showing work at OFFF. You can hear the interview below:

Many thanks to Media140 for the interview and we thoroughly recommend you have a look at their website, a really worthwhile endeavour! (And apologies for sounding as eloquent as a footballer!)

Many thanks to Mark Sinclair and Patrick Burgoyne over atCreative Review for the feature

Also a massive thanks to DT magazine for their support in featuring the DATA book in their March issue

Designers Against Tibetan Abuse (on sale Feb 2nd 2009) is the first project by Designers Against Human Rights Abuse. Founded by Rishi Sodha in the summer of 2008, a non-profit organisation, DAHRA exists to promote and raise awareness amongst those involved in the creative industry of their social, political and ethical responsibilities as well as to raise awareness of different instances of Human Rights Abuse.

Designers Against Human Rights Abuse (DAHRA)

ABOUT

Website for Designers Against Human Rights Abuse (DAHRA) which has a membership of hundreds of creatives from around the world

Designers Against Human Rights Abuse (DAHRA) was founded in the summer of 2008 by Rishi Sodha. A non-profit organisation, DAHRA exists to promote and raise awareness amongst those involved in the creative industry of their social, political and ethical responsibilities

In order to achieve this goal DAHRA focuses on a variety of issues that designers are passionate about and creates an environment where these voices can be united and heard. Through various mediums our members are encouraged to express their opinions in order to raise awareness, not only about these various causes, but also amongst other creatives and the responsibilities they have

It is important to note that DAHRA believes and supports equality for all people, animals and organisms and as such does not tolerate or promote discrimination of anyone or their values or beliefs. DAHRA exists as an aid to all creatives and not as a means to attack others

The topic of human rights is extremely broad and as such DAHRA aims to focus on both human rights violations by others as well as creatives. Therefore DAHRA also aims to promote knowledge of accessibility and correct design practice as well as raising awareness of other human rights violations worldwide
