Art historian and curator Nicole Fleetwood will join us to discuss art production and visual advocacy by Black women to abolish prisons and to end punitive governance. Her talk will expand on her recent book and exhibition Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration, which focuses on aesthetic practices and media of incarcerated artists who use penal space, penal matter, and penal time to produce art about carcerality. Discussing Black women’s centrality to the movement for prison abolition, she will focus on a visual archive of US prisons researched over a decade.
