DESCRIPTION:This conversation will explore art-making inside the prison industrial 
 complex as a practice of freedom by incarcerated artists. Panelists will 
 discuss artworks crafted behind the prison wall and the creative processes 
 involved in making, learning, and teaching art behind bars.\n\nThis is the 
 second event in a three-part series. We encourage you to register for Art 
 as Transformation: Music and Drama for Incarcerated Youth (3/30) and

 incarceration.\n\nDate and Time: Tue, April 6, 2021 @ 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM

 actively engages University of Chicago students and community members in 
 solutions to human rights problems, advancing new questions around human 
 rights theory and practice through the lens of deep research, experiential 
 learning, and critical community-building.\n\nIn its first five years,

 policing and mass incarceration in the United States.\n\n\nABOUT: White 
 Snake Projects, activist opera theater 
 company\n\nhttps://www.whitesnakeprojects.org/about/\n\nWe are White Snake 
 Projects, an activist opera company founded and led by an immigrant woman 
 of color. After three years of exploring our identity, we have a vision and 
 a game plan.\n\nWe’ve put this vision into action by integrating social 
 activism with original opera, partnering with other activists to 
 cross-promote important social issues and opera, and redefining how opera 
 is made by involving young people from our community.\n\nWhite Snake 
 Projects is supported by a grant from the National Foundation for the Arts 
 CARES Act 
 Fund\n________________________________________________________________ \n
