This year\u2019s program was funded by The Law Foundation of Ontario, with LAWS once again connecting us with participating students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over four days, participants developed legal life skills, explored questions about law and justice, and shared their visions for a more just future. Lawyers and community organizers\u00a0 shared their experiences using law as a tool for social change, discussing the connections between law and activism, and the importance of access to justice.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With &#8220;reimagining justice&#8221; as a starting point, participants developed ideas for artwork that expressed their vision for a more just and inclusive justice system.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International Toronto based artist, Andre Mandela Lopez, led participants through the process of turning their ideas from concepts to finished art, inviting them to express their own feelings and insights about complex legal concepts visually through painting, sculpture, and poetry. &nbsp;The completed pieces were mounted and displayed as a public gallery exhibition at Wildseed Centre for Art and Activism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Art and law may seem like very different disciplines, but\u202fAndre sees creativity as an important part of learning about justice. He explains that art encourages youth to think critically not only about how the legal system works, but also about how it could be different.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u202f\u201cArt is a creative process. Often in education you\u2019re just absorbing facts and regurgitating facts without the critical analysis part, without the creative part.\u202f Using art as part of this education is crucial because we\u2019re not only learning about what the legal system is, but we\u2019re thinking about how it should be. We have to be in the creative mode in order to do that. So that\u2019s where art comes in.\u201d\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Program developer and PLE consultant, Nat Jaczek, highlights the value of participatory approaches to legal education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYoung people bring new perspectives and their own lived experience with the law into the classroom, or in this case, the art studio. Through dialogue, OJEN facilitators and the participating lawyers aren\u2019t just teaching about the law, they are learning too.&nbsp; Art for Justice gives youth the opportunity to take an active role in learning about law and justice through discussion, collaboration, and creative expression. By participating in the process, youth can share their perspectives, learn from one another and engage with legal concepts in a meaningful&nbsp;way. The program demonstrates how participatory approaches can complement traditional methods of legal education. In this way, art makes law accessible.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enison\u00e9 Kadiri, OJEN\u2019s Director of Outreach Programs, highlights the importance of youth voice.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThrough art, youth express their perspectives, share their experiences and imagine a more just and inclusive legal system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kassandra Thompson, OJEN\u2019s Program Manager, emphasizes practical learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThrough Art for Justice, youth explore how law affects their lives, build legal life skills and consider how they can create positive change in their communities.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/ojen.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/EP_art.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35778\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4992414769923403;width:669px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ojen.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/EP_art.png 1000w, https:\/\/ojen.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/EP_art-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/ojen.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/EP_art-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Imprints of Us &#8211; by Emmanuel Omotayo &amp; Precious Laya, 2026&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imprints of Us represents our vision of justice\u2014a world where everyone belongs.

The idea is that, rather than being frozen in time, the law is allowed to grow and adapt as society progresses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, like the tree growing out of a parking lot in the painting, whose roots are constrained by poured concrete and whose branches are trimmed by the city when they interfere with the hydro lines, the law is also shaped by its material conditions. A tree can\u2019t flourish in a parking lot, just as justice can\u2019t flourish within a capitalist state system centered on protecting the property and power of the few.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Medium: Acrylic on canvas&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through Art for Justice, young people are not only learning about the law &#8211; they are helping us imagine what a more just legal system could look like.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Art for Justice is an initiative of the Ontario Justice Education Network (OJEN), made possible through the generous support of the Law Foundation of Ontario.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We thank the Wildseed Centre for Art and Activism for hosting the project and exhibition, and for the invaluable contributions of its staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are also grateful to the Law in Action Within Schools program for connecting us with such thoughtful and engaged young artists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our gratitude extends to the Black Legal Action Centre, Kensington-Bellwoods Community Legal Services, Samantha Peters, Dr. Alexandra Mogyoros, and Toronto Metropolitan University, Faculty of Law.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special thanks to Andre Mandela Lopez and Nat Jaczek for their vision and leadership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 22, OJEN welcomed guests to the Wildseed Centre for Art and Activism for an exhibition showcasing artwork\u202fcreated by youth who participated in OJEN\u2019s Art for Justice program.&nbsp;&nbsp; The program, held over the summer, brought together youth, artists, legal professionals and community organizers to explore ideas about law, justice, community, and social change through [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1232,"featured_media":30932,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_eb_attr":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-from-the-ojen-blog"],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/ojen.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Training-for-justice-sector-volunteers.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Raras","author_link":"https:\/\/ojen.ca\/en\/author\/raras\/"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
