The Trouble of All

What does universality mean? Can it ever be achieved without collapsing into systems of generalisation or oppression?
The Trouble of All challenges the tendency to oversimplify the concept of universality, emphasising the need to complicate it instead.Working with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as both lens and tool, the publication brings together voices from art, law, pedagogy, type design, and performance to question universality and human rights as neutral or equally shared by all. Instead, it invites readers to rethink, question, and continually rewrite what universality – and shared human rights – mean in our common world.
