What changes when evidence becomes an encounter?

Some truths need to be entered, heard and felt before they can be understood.

Where it came from
A question carried by CONTAINED, an art project within JusticeHub.

A response, for now

Reports can describe confinement while keeping the reader safely outside it. Art changes the distance.

CONTAINED takes the architecture and testimony of confinement out of the report and puts them in relation with a person. It does not replace evidence. It asks what evidence can do when it reaches more than the analytical mind.

This response can change as the work changes. If you carry another answer, we would like to hear it.
