 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.\n____________________________________________________________\n\nBELOW:
