Comments on: Restorative justice as a framework for art /now/restorative-justice/2009/05/09/restorative-justice-as-a-framework-for-art/ A blog from the Zehr Institute for Restorative Justice at the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding at ²ÝÝ®ÉçÇø Thu, 27 May 2010 12:51:41 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 By: Alyson from Shetland /now/restorative-justice/2009/05/09/restorative-justice-as-a-framework-for-art/comment-page-1/#comment-206 Mon, 25 May 2009 09:48:34 +0000 http://emu.edu/blog/restorative-justice/?p=101#comment-206 I am really excited to have found out (from 2 sources) about the Philadelphia project today.
I am currently in the very early days of running a pilot Arts and RJ reparation project. To date I have not found an aweful lot written about this, but perhaps I have not been looking in the right places!

Can anyone point me in the direction of other projects working with Restorative Justice using various art media?
And/or written material about using Art as a tool in restorative justice work.

Very grateful for any info or advice….
Thanks Alyson K

I remember thinking about the power of what this work could mean for healing of the victim, the community and the victim inside the offender. That is where I start; the healing of the person. I see the healing of relationship as a possible part of the steps to the healing of those who are hurt but it is not necessary.

The use of art in any form is, as Howard mentions, the ultimate expression. It communicates what our souls are trying to say, but our vocabulary is incapable of communicating. I might have to stop by Philly one of these days to take a look. Thanks Howard.
