Rose Camastro-Pritchett’s “Comfort Women” project uses art to honor the dignity and strength of survivors of wartime sexual violence. Inspired by her research and personal experiences, she creates intimate, respectful works that connect historical trauma to ongoing conversations about gender-based violence today.

This is where the validity of the questions posed by this tangible AI interactive testimony content to the viewer lies: bringing up issues again about what to ask, not what to listen to. That’s because asking well must be accompanied by the constant consideration of the questioner. This, of course, would be to restore asking within the process of listening, not a reconversion or return to asking.

The first “art teacher” of the “Comfort Women” survivors who live in the House of Sharing. I met and listened to the story of artist Kyung-Shin Lee, the author of “Flowers Unbloomed,” which contains the behind story of the painting class she conducted for five years from 1993.
