Forest City Gallery presents: Decolonizing Anti-Prison Work
Artist talk with Sheena Hoszko
Saturday January 6
6 – 9 p.m.
Free; snacks provided
This circle process, facilitated by Giselle Dias, will create an opportunity for conversation that will deepen our understanding of the ways in which the current criminal (in)justice system maintains colonial systems of control. It will also offer participants an opportunity to explore their own understanding of the prison industrial complex, talk about ways of resolving harm and find ways to work towards decolonizing anti-prison movements.
