Join us for a conversation around the exhibition "A Prison, A Prisoner, and A Prison Guard: An Exploration of Carcerality in the Middle East and North Africa," a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of prison art.
Curators of the exhibit, Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid, along with artist Marc Nelson, will discuss the role of art in social justice, what it means to be "prison impacted," and the evolving definition of prison art. The discussion will delve into how creative expression can provide insight into the human experiences behind prison walls, promote healing for survivors and their families, and challenge the broader implications of carceral systems in the region and worldwide.
Organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library. Sponsored by U-M Library along with Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies, Students Organize for Syria, Global Islamic Studies Center, and Arab Student Association.
