Open source guerilla art for international human rights day

10 December is International Human Rights Day. On this occasion, artist Himmelsbach (1983) offers free sets of posters from his art project ‘A Paper Monument for the Paperless’ as an open-source .pdf. Print these portraits on December 10th and hang them to be seen, to contribute to Human Rights Day.
