The “States of Incarceration” project brings together over 500 people in 20 US cities, who together created a traveling exhibition on the past, present, and future of mass incarceration in their communities. Stories range from Angola’s slave plantation-turned-prison in Louisiana, to the legacies of the Dakota Wars for Native American incarceration in Minnesota, to immigration detention at Ellis Island and Elizabeth, New Jersey.
For its staging in New York City, the exhibition includes a focus on Rikers Island, developed by New School students in collaboration with The Fortune Society.
The exhibition is on view from April 3-21, 2016 at The New School’s Sheila C. Johnson Design Center, Arnold and Sheila Aronson Galleries, before traveling to partner sites across the country.
To complement the exhibition and launch event, this conference on April 15 and 16 includes active participation through interactive installations, live polling and small group discussions.
