(1) Grondrechten centraal
in Anne Frank Huis (22.IV.01) 'In het Anne Frank Huis in Amsterdam gaat woensdag de tentoonstelling 'Grensgevallen' van start. Tijdens deze interactieve tentoonstelling worden de bezoekers uitgedaagd om een keuze te maken tussen twee grondrechten: de vrijheid van meningsuiting en het recht beschermd te worden tegen discriminatie. Twaalf korte films tonen situaties waarin beide grondrechten met elkaar in conflict komen. De bezoekers kunnen met stempanelen aangeven welk recht zij zwaarder vinden wegen. Een van de filmpjes gaat over de Amerikaanse rapper Eminem, die berucht is vanwege zijn beledigende teksten.De tentoon- stelling zal een jaar lang te zien zijn.' © 2001 Radio Nederland Wereldomroep |
(1) Basic rights are central
in the Anne Frank House (IV.22.01) "This Wednesday in the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam the exhibition "Borderline Cases" will be opened. At the inactive exhibition, visitors will be challenged to make a decision between two basic rights: the freedom of expression and the right to be protected against discrimination. Twelve short films will show situations in which these two basic rights are in conflict with each other. The visitors can indicate via a voting system which right they deem more important. One of the films concerns the American rapper Eminem, who is well-known for his insulting texts. The exhibition will be open all year." (tr. Cliff Crego) |
