Samenvatting

Brunilda Pali described in 2015 the work of the American digital and media artist Sharon Daniel (University of California in Santa Cruz) in a special publication as a result of an interdisciplinary, international arts research collaboration. The new-media documentary Inside the Distance was shown in the StuK Art Center Leuven in that period and included fragments of restorative justice encounters. It was an effort to test the potential for activist art practice to have a direct role in changing social conditions. To hear about what the project meant for Sharon Daniel, but also about her current work ánd to explore how art can further play a role in changing justice, Ivo Aertsen and Annemieke Wolthuis interviewed Sharon Daniel and Brunilda Pali. More stories were shared to combine art and restorative justice.
