Aesthetics and Counter-Aesthetics of International Justice

How are stories of justice told and visualised? In what ways do stereotypes of victims entrench biases of race, class, and gender? What presumptions do we have about violence as injustice and remedies of justice?

The exhibition invites visitors to think about the politics of the dominant forms of international justice and to consider how such a dominant frame can be disrupted and countered. The exhibition is based on a selection of the artwork and theoretical reflections from the collection Aesthetics and Counter-Aesthetics of International Justice edited by Christine Schwöbel-Patel and Robert Knox (Counterpress 2024).
