Press Release
Last year, a small group of us had the privilege of listening to a talk by acclaimed US-based Japanese photographer, Toshi Kazama.
Toshi has spent years meeting and photographing juvenile offenders on death row in the United States and Asia. Mr Kazama himself, is a survivor of an attempted murder. Yet, he is also a firm anti-death penalty advocate.
Over the years, he has reached out to families of both inmates and victims, hoping to help bring about healing, understanding and c,osure. Toshi's photos provide us with an insight into the world of inmates on death row, and the process of the execution, something that is unseen and unheard of in the Singaporean context.
His presentation humanizes the issue, giving us a different but valuable perspective to our debate on capital punishment.
We warmly welcome you to join us at the event on the evening of 14th of July, Saturday.
