In this video, I took photos of the With These Hands memorial statue and put the audio of my conversation with my Greek friend, Sofilia, above it. I did so to contrast American views of justice with those of someone from an international country. The photos of the memorial are from the perspective of someone approaching the statue for the first time, someone coming onto the campus and not knowing the history. It’s interesting to think about how Sofilia might have thought about the statue, as she expresses different views of justice than I would have. She doesn’t believe in justice being possible currently, but I’m staring at the With These Hands memorial that was a portion of justice for the enslaved families. It’s a contrast I believed was interesting.
