“Works of children’s own design and practice builds confidence to approach formalized studies through an individualized lens,” Harper said.  “Each of us has an aesthetic practice, an inquiry-based practice, and for a child that practice is interacting with the world, of contributing knowledge, of learning and developing, the whole practice of being and becoming a person.”

To discuss both reparations for individual victims and systems-level social change,Opening the Black Box: The Charge is Torture (Chicago Torture Justice Memorials, 2012) enacts aesthetic forms of both restorative and transformative justice paradigms. As restorative actors, the objects propose specific reparations for specific victims and call for the city and its agents to finally fully acknowledge the crimes committed by Jon Burge and officers of the Chicago Police Department. It is important to notice that, though this exhibition of art objects occupies and activates an imaginative space, the concrete list of reparations created by the Chicago Torture Justice Memorials (CTJM) collective of artists, educators, lawyers, and other justice workers is not speculative; it is researched and particular, and it is meant to result in direct restorative action. The draft city ordinance on display details the harm done and the parallel reparations proposed including, for example, the prosecution of implicated members of the Chicago Police department and the provision of psychological counseling for survivors, among other terms.
