What does AARGH mean in NEWS & MEDIA

AARGH stands for Artists Against Rampant Government Homophobia. It is an organization of artists and activists dedicated to creating awareness about the issue of state-sponsored homophobia, and leveraging their creativity to advance human rights globally.

The primary goal of AARGH is to challenge oppressive government policies that target LGBTQ+ communities. By working with local activists, we strive to promote equal rights and opportunities for all peoples, regardless of gender or sexual identity. We also seek to raise art as a powerful medium to open dialogue, confront prejudice, and foster inclusion and equality.

There are many ways to get involved with AARGH! You can become a member, organize a fundraising event or participate in one of our many workshops. Additionally, you could volunteer your time and skills by joining one of our committees or spearheading an advocacy project. You can also help us spread the word by sharing information about our initiatives on social media platforms.

We invite artists from all backgrounds and countries around the world who embrace diversity and use their creative practices to push boundaries while advocating for peace and justice within their respective societies.
