Prominent curators make selections of proposals for each exhibition venue; all proposals will be exhibited on website
|
We invite artists, architects, and all those who seek justice to submit proposals for a speculative monument to memorialize the Chicago Police torture cases. These memorial projects will serve as a public reckoning with police torture in Chicago and honor those who fought to stop it. We aim to make visible the social and political conditions that made torture possible, as well as the acts of courage that ended — or at least brought to light — the culture of impunity that thwarted justice for so long in this instance.
Every submission will be an act of solidarity with torture survivors. All submitted proposals will be exhibited at one or more of the following venues: Chicago area art galleries, community centers, and a dedicated website.
We hope this project will help to build a social movement strong enough to deter these and other acts of torture and transform our broken criminal justice system.
