Oblong Contemporary at Kennedy Human Rights Charity Auction in Milan

Oblong Contemporary was proud to contribute a painting by Mr. Brainwash to the charity auction conducted by Christie’s at the annual “Be the Hope” gala, held in Milan on 5 November 2026.

Organised by the Robert and Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center Italia and attended by Kerry Kennedy, the evening brought together supporters of human rights, social justice and civic responsibility.

The auction raised funds for Kennedy Human Rights Italia’s educational and community programmes, including free after-school activities, human rights workshops, summer camps for children and initiatives to prevent bullying.

Through this contribution, Oblong Contemporary reaffirms its belief in art’s ability to inspire generosity and support meaningful change. We are honoured to help advance opportunities for younger generations while celebrating the enduring legacy of Robert and Ethel Kennedy.
