Social justice art & healing by Jennifer Easton (27 Apr 2018 23:57 UTC)
Reply to listHello 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,

Reply to listHi, Jennifer
One of the most successful ones I've seen is by Mary Brogger here in Chicago. It's a memorial to the Haymarket Riot. Here's a blurb from the DCASE web site. The base of the memorial is now partly covered by plaques and placards. I can't remember if they commemorate other social justice movements or are of social justice organizations. But what I like about it is that the memorial moves people to add onto it as a living shrine.

Reply to listHello all,
I have a situation where there is an existing collection of military themed artwork created by youth sponsored by a local veterans organization from the 1980s in a city owned building. There is current interest by a community member in updating the exhibit to include themes surrounding the armistice. What thoughts does anyone have on the following:
A retroactive process for accepting interior artwork in to a formal city collection.Negotiating sensitive subject matter and content in the public realm.
Suggestions welcome!
Jeff
