Art as a Tool for Social Justice

How can art be used as a tool to promote social justice? That is a question that Toronto Association for Learning and Preserving the History of World War II in Asia will explore in the workshop "Youth Dialogue-Social Justice through Art." The January 28 workshop is the fifth in a series that brings together Asian-Canadian youth to discuss issues of social justice. Jasmine Wong, program associate for Facing History in Toronto, will be one of two presenters discussing the role art can play in starting conversations about difficult histories. The workshop will be followed by the performance of a new Canadian play inspired by survivors of the 1937 Nanjing Massacre, The project hopes to empower youth to build a peaceful community by reconciling the forgotten history of WWII in Asia.
