Aim for human rights participation in Art, Aviation and Achievement: An International Symposium on Women's Rights

On Wednesday, March 10, San Diego State University will host a symposium on international women’s rights. The symposium is part of the celebration of the  exhibition by Simone Aaberg Kaern: Seize the Sky  which opens at the University Art Gallery of San Diego State University on February 15 and continues through May 5, 2010. The exhibition is a fourteen-year survey of the Danish artist's video works that address the sky as airspace unbounded by political borders and examine flight as a metaphor for individual freedom. Seize the Sky is Aaberg Kaern's premiere exhibition on the West Coast, and her first solo exhibition in the U.S.

The symposium will be moderated by Jenni Prisk, president and founder of Voices of Women, and will feature an international roster of panelists, including Simone Aaberg Kaern herself, Loeky Droesen, senior program officer for Aim for human rights and Latifa Nabizada, pilot, Afghan National Army Air Corps.
