Freedom Through Art is a group art show centering the work of incarcerated artists including the members of the Freedom Through Arts Collective, a national collective of currently incarcerated artists, and inviting the creative community to reflect on the issue of incarceration and the humanity of every life it impacts. We live in a society that imprisons its people at a higher rate than anywhere in the world yet numbers fail to tell the stories of families, futures and freedoms devastated in a Criminal Punishment System ever increasingly divorced from justice. Freedom Through Art is about sharing stories, from the inside and the other side and highlighting the voices, experience and dynamism of those who live this reality every day and are far too often reduced to statistics and sentences rather than being seen as fellow human beings.
