February 18–April 14, 2022 

The exhibition title is borrowed from Angela Davis’s 2015 book and is focused on prison abolition. The work in the show centers on the perspectives of people who have been or are currently incarcerated. Each of the exhibited projects allows us to see the impact the carceral system has on individuals, offering the viewer a chance to reevaluate their perspective on the dehumanizing and harmful effects of incarceration. But each of these projects also offers solutions in the form of information, actions, ways to connect, and alternatives to incarceration.

Ultimately, through the drawings, video performances, photography, writing, and gardens, the exhibition encourages visitors to ask “What would a future without prisons look like? What would it take to get there?”

Masks are required in the galleries regardless of vaccination status.

Gallery hours:
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, & Saturday 1-5:00 p.m.
Thursdays 1-8:00 p.m.

Poetry-based art movements have functioned as an important locus of community organizing and political discourse across both Puerto Rico and the U.S. since at least the 1930s. In this interactive workshop, scholar-activist-poet Dr. Melinda González will perform poems, facilitate a poetry writing workshop, and discuss the role of poetry spaces in disaster recovery in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria across the Puerto Rican diaspora.
This workshop is sponsored by the Evelyn Danzig Haas ’39 Visiting Artists Program, the Marshall Center for Intercultural Learning, WorldFest, and the Departments of English and Anthropology. 

Come check out what arts@wheaton is all about, including how you can get involved. There will be live performances, music, tie-dye, paper flower making, screen printing and more. Oh yeah, and food trucks!
