Hi – Sharing Walter Hood’s Witness Walls that honors the Civil Rights movement here in Nashville. It is on the site where students marched to the Courthouse following the bombing of Z. Alexander Looby’s home and asked the Mayor to disavow segregation at Nashville’s lunch counters.

Subject: Social justice art & healing

Hello colleagues,

Does anyone have examples of artwork where the site of an injustice becomes the site of an artwork that may commemorate, but also takes the opportunity to move the conversation forward?

I'm not looking for a whitewash, but more an honoring/healing sort of approach.

Thanks,

Jennifer A. Easton
