In partnership with KAN WIN, Embodying Justice showcases the power of survivors’ storytelling through art to instigate social and political change. Awakenings seeks 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, Awakenings seeks to spark discussion about connections to contemporary sexual violence in relation to state violence. Inspired by the women using art as a living testimony, they envision creating a local movement in solidarity with global activism.
