DESCRIPTION:Gee, an Oakland actor and dramatist will hold a talk-back about his use of 
 drama with youth in juvenile detention. \n\nAuthor Linda Norton, who is 
 writing a book in collaboration with Peralta Hacienda about the effect of 
 incarceration on Oakland communities under a Creative Work Fund grant, will 
 introduce Norman and the book project.\n\nCommunity member Gwen Jackson 
 will also participate, giving her perspective as someone who was 
 incarcerated repeatedly as a young girl in the South and found ways out of 
 the cycle. She will reflect on how experiences like hers can affect the 
 relationships between the community and the police in Oakland today. 
 \n\nThis is the first of a series of events connected with Peralta 
 Hacienda's "Home and Away" exhibit on the effect of incarceration in this 
 community, which also involves Holly Alonso who is creating the exhibit's 
 audio component, and Jeff Norman, graphic artist.\n\nNorton and community 
 members have created collages to form the visual display, which will grow 
 through public response throughout the year. Following the presentation on 
 Nov 21, the audience will be invited to add their own written and visual 
 responses for the exhibit.\n\n"I got involved in Each One Reach One...I 
 came in as an actor to read the pieces the young women in juvenile 
 detention had written. I did it, it was amazing. We did a 'feelback' 
 afterwards. No judgment, but what are the emotions you feel in that story?. 
 Wow! The tears that come from all the family members in that room. Here was 
 someone that had been thrown away and she is this gem."\n\n---quote from
