In partnership with KAN WIN, our new exhibit Embodying Justice showcases the power of survivors’ storytelling through art to instigate social and political change. Awakenings seeks to promote awareness of the ongoing activism of survivors of Japanese military sexual slavery, who were euphemistically called “comfort women,” before and during WWII.

Issue 12 of Awakened Voices

Awakenings is proud to announce the publication of Issue 12 of Awakened Voices. In our first ever unthemed issue, we’ve asked survivors, allies, and advocates to guide the issue through the conversations they’d like our community to be having around survivorship and healing.

Self Care for Caregivers

At Awakenings, we understand the critical role caregivers play in the healing journey of others. We also know that we cannot care for others when our own cups are empty. That’s why Awakenings, with support from The Chicago Foundation for Women, is presenting  “Self Care for Caregivers.”  This suite contains a variety of journal prompts, artistic activities, and meditations designed to offer a self care solution for any moment.
