Imaging Social Justice
Imaging Social Justice explores the interface between social science research and the arts through transnational collaborations around themes of social justice. Five early-career researchers based at King’s College London developed arts-based research projects in collaboration with colleagues in the arts. The result is an interdisciplinary set of images, sounds, and text reflecting struggles of some of the most vulnerable populations around the world: Rwandan families struggling with memory and reconciliation, Brazilian migrant women in London overcoming violence-related trauma, Ecuadorian indigenous women exploring image, archive and resistance, infrastructure and dispossession of Palestinian existence in Israel, and loss and identity in Latin American migrant communities in London. The projects include photography, archive and exhibition-as-dialogue, music and song-making, body mapping and narrative, and video and audio.
In this launch event, the authors and artists will present and discuss how arts-based research can contribute to new forms of knowledge production and collaboration.
