Through a self-defined legal framework, the CICC puts states and corporations on trial, while expanding ideas of reparations toward ecological restoration and intergenerational responsibility. Commissioned by Framer Framed, the first iteration of the CICC staged four hearings in Amsterdam in 2021. Acting as a more-than-human tribunal, it includes not only human participants but also extinct species and fossils as witnesses โ€“ foregrounding environmental loss as something to be documented, remembered and publicly confronted. In doing so, the CICC resonates strongly with transitional justice processes: it centres truth-telling, collective memory and accountability, especially where existing legal systems fall short. It demonstrates how artists can actively shape new juridical imaginaries and practices. With the TJA grant and fellowship, Framer Framed, together with AFIELD and Arts of the Working Class, supports practitioners addressing legacies of injustice and violence, awarding 6 grants of โ‚ฌ10,000 & a six-month fellowship, including a published feature & Amsterdam residency. โ–ช๏ธIf you are an artist and/or creative practitioner addressing legacies of injustice, learn more about the programme and find the open call via the link in bio.

What does justice look like when the justice system fails?ย  Transitional Justice is the legal framework societies use to confront legacies of severe human rights violations. Traditionally, this process is built on four foundational pillars: ~ The right to know ~ The right to justice ~ The right to reparation ~ The right to non-repetition Today, this global discourse is expanding, as communities take on the role of active witnesses, documenting harms as they are being enacted and refusing to let the record be erased. This is what is called the "justice imaginationโ€โ€”the collective capacity to influence the courtroom or institutional framework and envision more ambitious, community-led forms of repair and accountability. ~~~~~~~~ โš–๏ธย  If you are an artist and/or creative practitioner addressing legacies of injustice, APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN for the ๐˜›๐˜‘๐˜ˆ ๐˜Ž๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต!

"For visitors like me, as tangata tฤซriti, (English-origin settler, living here by the mandate of Te Tฤซriti o Waitangi), there is huge relief in honest films about enslavement, Indigenous land practices, or the revival of seed sovereignty.
