Presenter: Lizzie Anderson, Prison Poster Project
The Prison Poster Project (PPP) is a collective of artists and activists working in collaboration with prisoners across the U.S. Our mission is to create a public education tool to expose how the prison industrial complex affects our diverse communities and to challenge current reliance on prisons as a solution to social problems. With imprisoned artists, we are creating a mural that will be used by prison activists, educators, incarcerated people and community leaders. Currently, this presentation's images are in digital form with an accompanying booklet of prisoner writings and stories. The presentation will take you through a slide show of a cross section of a prison composed of 24 cells each illustrated by an incarcerated artist. Each participant will walk away with a copy of the booklet and CD to bring to their own communities to use as an educational tool.
