'This exhibition Witnessing to Silence and the international conference on "Art and Human Rights" with which it coincides are part of a research project at the Humanities Research Centre, Australian National University, that began in 2000 to bring together scholars in many disciplines but especially law, the humanities and the arts.' - Caroline Turner.

15 artists from around the world have been chosen for the exhibitions which were held at four different venues in Canberra, Australia. The present catalogue brings together the exhibits as well as articles written on the artists. Biographies of artists are provided. With a foreword by Nancy Sever.

Artists from outside of Asia include: Christian Boltanski, Juan Davilla, Fiona Foley, Pat Hoffie, Alfredo Jaar, William Kentridge, Mella Jaarsma, Luc Tuymans, Michel Tuffery and Michel Mel.
