How do we build peace and create more justice in Chicago?
To understand and seek solutions for the interpersonal and structural violence that is plaguing Chicago and its residents, the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum has committed to host a series of public conversations and activities grappling with peace-building and violence.
Individuals, organizations, informal groups, anti-violence practitioners, artists and scholars from across the city are currently examining the root causes of interpersonal, institutional and community violence. Hull-House Museum will serve as a convening space for the public to explore trauma, healing, civic responsibility and innovative frameworks that seek to create the conditions for peace and more justice.
The museum will post events, taking place both at Hull-House and other venues, that engage with the themes of restorative justice, peacemaking, mass incarceration, and violence (interpersonal and structural.)
This peace and justice series continues the legacy of Jane Addams, the first American woman awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. The community partners organizing the peace and justice events have long-standing commitments to anti-violence work and are instrumental in exploring paths of peace-building in Chicago.
Please check the museum website for upcoming events in this series.
