The Be an Upstander Showcase is an annual event which amplifies your voices as students, providing an opportunity to display your projects and share the work you’re doing for human rights with the public. Students are invited to share their work in the Museum galleries and talk with visitors about how they are taking action to turn injustice into justice. Inspired by the Beyond the Beat: Music of Resistance and Change exhibition, this year there will be two ways to participate in the Showcase: share your project or share your music.

Share your project on human rights alongside other students in the Museum galleries and present your work to members of the public.

Showcase projects should include the following elements:

• A visual, artistic or interactive element (past projects have included displays, works of art, infographics, interactive activities, short films, or recorded podcasts);
• Information to create awareness and engage the public about a current human rights topic;
• Talking points about your work and human rights action for you to share with the public.

Share your music inspired by human rights at a busking station in the Museum galleries and present your work to members of the public.

Musicians should prepare the following elements:

• 1–2 songs or pieces that you can perform live;
• A poster that can be displayed at your busking station telling the public about who you are and what human rights cause inspired your music;
• Talking points about your work and human rights action for you to share with the public.
