on diverse human rights issues such as children’s rights,
child labor, disappearances, indigenous land rights, judicial
independence, freedom of expression, ethnic violence,
impunity, and the environment. She has led over

He is well known most of all for his unique bronze
spheres, the material he prefers for his works of art,
which “break down” and open in front of the watcher who
looks for the internal mechanism, in a contrast between
the perfect smoothness of the shape and the complexity
hidden inside it. Since 1954 he lives and works in Milan,

Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation dedicated to his work and
to contemporary art.
