AirGo is proud to share a suite of conversations led by the Chicago Torture Justice Center entitled "Where We’re Going, We Need Each Other," a 2021 celebration of the 6-year anniversary of the Reparations Ordinance for survivors of police torture, and the 4-year anniversary of the opening of the Chicago Torture Justice Center.

With reflections from CTJM members Anthony Holmes, Dorothy Burge, and Alice Kim on how art and culture played a central role in envisioning reparations, this event examined how far we've come, what it took to get here, and the importance of the memorial. It also gave attendees time with artists, writers, and educators in breakout rooms, where they focused on making and creating in a world where there is so much un-making and destruction.

Workshops include:

Writing Workshop with educator Bill Ayers & CTJM member Alice Kim

Make a quilt patch for incarcerated survivors with artist and CTJM member Dorothy Burge

Make a protest poster with artist Aaron Hughes

Learn about teaching the Reparations Won Curriculum via history and art with CPS educators Jen Johnson & Dave Stieber
