Our People’s Projection Night event, held in partnership with The Illuminator & Chinatown Art Brigade, told the story of the land the megajail sits on, mapping lineages of solidarity of the past and present and calling on artists, cultural workers, and architects to boycott all requests for artwork and design of the jails. Sharing these slides and illuminations into the night, we asked ourselves how we can imagine a world where violence and harm are not met with cages, but with community, accountability, and care.
We asked community members to sign our letter calling for the Department of Cultural Affairs to disinvest from the production of artwork for criminal justice facilities and end its involvement in prison design.
