ART IS INDESTRUCTIBLE, EVEN IN PRISON

The volunteers who create Jaws of Justice love creating new and exciting shows for our listeners.  On our show for 3-4-24, we will play a presentation that Nicole R. Fleetwood, writer, curator, and art critic shared with us.    She first gave this presentation, Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration in 12/23 at the Hall Center for the Humanities.  Nicole Fleetwood powerfully documents the inner lives and creative visions of men and women rendered invisible by America’s prisons. She shows us that despite the deprivations and cruelties being experienced behind bars, America’s prisons are filled with art.

Nicole Fleetwood’s book, Marking Time, shows how the imprisoned turn ordinary objects into elaborate works of art. The impact of their art can be felt far beyond prison walls. Fleetwood is the James Weldon Johnson Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University.

 

On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society.  Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.
