We solicit works of art that document the Black Lives Matter movement, illustrate the themes of police abolition and police defunding, and reimagine what Los Angeles could be without policing and other carceral systems.

COMFORT WOMEN
Coming Summer 2021

Tens of thousands of women and girls were forced into sexual slavery by the imperial Japanese army between 1932 and 1945. Forced to work in “comfort stations” for twelve hours a day, the women lived under deplorable conditions, moving about as they followed the army, then abandoned when the war ended. CARE (Comfort Women Action for Redress & Education) continues to tell the story of these women, pushing for acknowledgement of these human rights abuses from the Japanese government.
