 PANEL:\n\nSonya Clark is a fiber artist known for using a variety of 
 materials including human hair and combs to address the areas of race, 
 culture, class, and history. In the recent performance, Unraveling, she and 
 participants slowly unraveled a Confederate battle flag, thread by thread. 
 As Clark explains, “The intent is not to destroy a Confederate battle 
 flag but to investigate what it means to take it apart, a metaphor for the 
 slow and deliberate work of unraveling racial dynamics in the United 
 States.”\n\nErica Meiners is Professor of Gender, Women’s Studies, and 
 Education at Northeastern Illinois University. She has authored several 
 books on her research, most recently For the Children? Protecting Innocence 
 in a Carceral State. In all her writing, teaching, and organizing, Meiners 
 examines the U.S. prison industrial complex and questions how a sustainable 
 and flourishing world without prisons can be built.\n\nBeth E. Richie is 
 Head of the Department of Criminology, Law and Justice and Professor of 
 African American Studies at The University of Illinois at Chicago. She has 
 authored Arrested Justice: Black Women, Violence and America’s Prison 
 Nation and numerous articles concerning Black feminism and gender violence, 
 race and criminal justice policy, the social dynamics around issues of 
 sexuality, prison abolition, and grassroots organizations in African 
 American Communities. \n\n\nABOUT: Visualizing Abolition \n\nVisualizing 
 Abolition is organized by UC Santa Cruz Institute of the Arts and Sciences 
 in collaboration with San José Museum of Art and Mary Porter Sesnon Art 
 Gallery. \n\nVisualizing Abolition is a series of online events organized 
 by Professor Gina Dent, Feminist Studies and Dr. Rachel Nelson, Director, 
 Institute of the Arts and Sciences. The events feature artists, activists, 
 and scholars united by their commitment to the vital struggle for prison 
 abolition. Originally, Visualizing Abolition was being planned as an 
 in-person symposium. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the panels, artist talks, 
 film screenings, and other events will instead take place online. \n\nThe 
 events accompany Barring Freedom, an exhibition of contemporary art on view 
 at \nSan José Museum of Art October 30, 2020-April 25, 2021. To accompany 
 the exhibition, Solitary Garden, a public art project about mass 
 incarceration and solitary confinement is on view at UC Santa Cruz.
