[Peace] prison talk

[Stephen Hartnett]

Art, Activism, and the Fight Against the Prison Industrial Complex
Monday, 7 November, at Allen Hall, at 7:00 PM

Janie Paul will show slides of work made by Michigan prisoners and will 
talk about her artistic, pedagogical, and political work with the Prison 
Creative Arts Project, one the nation's largest and most successful groups 
mobilizing art against the prison industrial complex. Thus merging art and 
activism, this will be an inspiring call to action and a celebration of the 
fight for social justice.

Janie Paul is Assistant Professor and Director of Community Relations at 
the University of Michigan School of Art and Design.  For the past ten 
years she has co-curated an annual exhibit of art made by prisoners in 
Michigan; working in conjunction with the Prison Creative Arts Project, she 
has taught in prisons across the state. She is one of the founders of 
Detroit Connections, a project bringing art and art education to inner-city 
public schools, where young people learn to make community-based art while 
building political consciousness.

The Talk is co-sponsored by Allen Hall, The Center on Democracy in a 
Multiracial Society, The Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities, 
and the Department of Speech Communication.
