Catherine Filloux is an internationally recognized award-winning playwright who has been writing about human rights and social justice for over 25 years. Her new one-person play “Under the Skin” is about the internationally acclaimed visual artist and human rights activist Claudia Bernardi, who is part of a generation that grew up in Argentina under a military junta, Filloux and Bernardi show clips from the virtual workshop of the play and share how they embarked on this collaboration of trust, having first met in Belfast, Northern Ireland. They discuss aspects of the play including its historical perspectives, Bernardi’s participation with the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team, as well as the community art model Bernardi has shared with communities that suffered political violence in many parts of the world. The conversation is moderated by Toni Shapiro-Phim, PhD, a Brandeis University professor whose work focuses on efforts at the nexus of the arts, human rights, and social justice concerns, and who has worked with Filloux and Bernardi in theatrical, educational, and community endeavors. ### Resources The Disappeared Are Appearing: Murals that Recover Communal Memory International Journal of Transitional Justice Oxford University Press Published: 26 November 2019 Claudia Bernardi: Author [Abstract](https://academic.oup.com/ijtj/article-abstract/14/1/193/5643962) [Article (free access)](https://academic.oup.com/ijtj/article/14/1/193/5643962?guestAccessKey=3d64083b-09fe-45ed-81a4-9d64b29b6ae3) [Argentinian Artist Claudia Bernardi Visually Unearths Brutalities Of Past Present](https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackieabramian/2021/01/07/argentinian-artist-claudia-bernardi-visually-unearths-brutalities-of-past-and-present/?sh=75f959b53a07) By Jackie Abramian FORBES Magazine [“La Bestia/ The Beast”](https://solispress.com/9781910146460.html) Claudia Bernardi: Author Voices On The Move: An Anthology About And By Refugees Edited by Domnica Radulescu and Roxana Cazan Solis Press/ England 2020 [Cartography](https://smoca.org/2020/06/17/museum-musings-claudia-bernardi/ ) Claudia Bernardi: Author Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art [Second Chances](https://directory.weadartists.org/second-chances) Claudia Bernardi: Author WEAD, Women Eco Artists Dialog [“The Tenacity of Memory”](https://www.palgrave.com/us/book/9783319749648) by Claudia Bernardi “Doubling the Voice, Expanding the Frame: Re-imagining Witnessing Against Torture” Bringing together the voices of torture survivors from TASSC International with non-survivor academics, clinicians, and advocates Edited by Elizabeth Swanson, Ph.
