Art is an important vehicle for civic participation and this town hall initiates a dialog on art and mass incarceration between Omari Booker, an artist participating in the NEA-sponsored exhibition "Illuminating the Darkness: Our Carceral Landscape;" Gisela Carbonell, Curator at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum; and Keri Watson, Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Central Florida. Sponsored by For Freedoms, the Cornell Museum of Fine Arts, and the UCF Art Gallery and featuring Omari Booker, Gisela Carbonell, and Keri Watson. https://richesmi.cah.ucf.edu/omeka/files/original/81459caed1adaea3854f9569a72c9ed5.jpeg 604ead4dae04b632c05c4f2badc09acf Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A prior conviction can make it hard to find employment, a place to live and the right to drive. People who have been incarcerated are prohibited from employment opportunities in law enforcement, the school system, and hospitals, and oftentimes employers automatically reject applicants due to a felony conviction. It can also make it hard to pursue education and to pursue a professional discipline such as nursing, medicine, teaching, real estate, insurance, transportation, financial services, and the practice of law. During this panel, speakers who have been impacted by the criminal justice system share their stories and offer suggestions for how attendees can actively practice anti-racism and support criminal justice reform. This panel is part of "Illuminating the Darkness: Our Carceral Landscape" exhibition programming and funded by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Illuminating the Darkness: Our Carceral Landscape presents the work of twenty-five artists whose practice is informed by their experiences with the criminal justice system to shine a light on the ways in which mass incarceration affects us all. The culmination of a two-year project sponsored by the Florida Prison Education Project, National Endowment for the Arts, and Laughing Gull Foundation, the collected pieces—in sculpture and installation, drawing and painting, video and photography, and printmaking and book arts—explore racism, oppression, and the immutability of the human spirit. https://richesmi.cah.ucf.edu/omeka/files/original/b6ef41cf54e557da7149ee1d281bc4d5.pdf 00d50746b46b07dc6b4e6b58d950a428 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
