KAN-WIN is collaborating with Awakenings to organize an exhibit for summer 2021 featuring reproductions of “comfort women” survivor artwork and the resin replica of the Sonyeosang. Awakenings is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating a physical and virtual artistic space in which to engage in an open dialogue that furthers awareness and understanding of sexual violence and promotes healing of survivors through the arts.
Embodying Justice showcases the power of survivors’ storytelling through art to instigate social and political change. We seek to promote awareness of the ongoing activism of survivors of Japanese military sexual slavery, who were euphemistically called “comfort women,” before and during WWII. Through art, we seek to spark discussion about connections to contemporary sexual violence in relation to state violence. Inspired by the women using art as a living testimony, we envision creating a local movement in solidarity with global activism.
Embodying Justice opens June 19. RSVP to set up your in-person tour or receive an access code to view the virtual exhibit.
