Beloved Arts
A curatorial collaboration of incarcerated men and women at the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department and students at Boston University who explore the praxis of liberation through expressive arts at the nexus of mental, emotional and spiritual health. The artists' pursuit of identity within community calls for embodied empathy and humanity, the spirit and essence of Beloved Community, toward the point of convergence - love. Their art of storytelling, visual and performance, galvanizes people to revolutionize whose stories are told and how voices are amplified in our collective pursuit of liberation. |
Response(ART)ability
The unprecedented times brought on by COVID-19, presented an ingenious opportunity for dialogue through the arts. Men and women at the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department (SCSD) initiated the dialogue by expressing themselves through poems and vignettes, and students at Boston University (BU) took on the response(ART)ability to respond with insight and intentionality – not interpretation. Race, Prison, Justice Arts participants included: Matt Flynn, Shishy Gebru, Leah Murthy, Tara Palazuelos, Noah Putterman, Jimmy Rotondo, Jess Tovey, and Grace Wodarcyk |
