The Long Term
Exhibit at the Borzello Gallery, Ford Center for the Fine Arts, Knox College
February 13 - March 12, 2024
Reception and Gallery Talk, March 1, 4:00 p.m.
 
Between 2016-2018, artists, writers and members of the Prison + Neighborhood Arts Project created a series of thematic works around long-term sentencing policies. These projects emerged from classes and collaborative work at Stateville prison, where people are serving extraordinarily long prison terms. The Long Term utilizes a variety of mediums and visual languages to encourage social dialogue around issues of incarceration and the effects on people living under the weight of the justice system.
