Reception Feb. 13th 4-6pm
John Sommers Gallery
UNM Art Building 2nd floor lobby
In Fall 2024 Moving Image Arts students created short experimental films to accompany JustWrite anthology poems authored by participants while they were incarcerated. The resulting collaboration opened unexpected windows into shared experience. The exhibition’s catalogue conjures visions of hope, suffering, joy, and endurance. It offers startling portraits of home and reveals the fine threaded web of meaning which connects all of us in our day to day lives.
Curated by Diahndra Grill, Eden Radfarr, Wren Hall Hartley and Sonya Burke.
