About Anniversary - an act of memory
Anniversary — an act of memory is a performance series in 60 acts focusing on the importance and relevance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and features solo, collective and multilingual recitations from memory of the entire UDHR by Monica Ross and Co-recitors.
It was first performed by Ross to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Declaration in 2008 and 41 Acts have since taken place in contexts as different as The House of Commons, Brighton Seafront and most recently in the grounds of Birmingham Cathedral. To date more than 500 Co-Recitors of all ages from different communities have memorised and publicly recited articles of significance to them in over 40 languages. The emphasis is not on perfect recall, but on the attempt to remember and the difficulty of fulfilling the Declaration’s call to keep it ‘constantly in mind,’ especially when under pressure.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the world's most translated document.

The Green Fair's recitation is part of the Anniversary — an act of memory UK Tour 2011 – 2013 and supported by Arts Council England.
