Overview of the Project:
This project supports creative endeavors in a collaborative prison arts project I am leading with incarcerated individuals at Thumb Correctional Facility. A series of photographs will be made with these incarcerated collaborators as part of a larger cross-disciplinary collaboration I am co-organizing titled Humanize the Numbers. I am seeking funding to support alternative programming and public displays to accompany an exhibition of this work in the Residential College Art Gallery, planned for Winter 2016. Support from the Lecturers' Professional Development Fund will allow me to produce alternative exhibition materials for these public spaces and provide curatorial support for the alternative exhibition and programming. This material for alternative venues—large scale banners with images and information— will become the core of a traveling public exhibition, building partnerships with community organizations, public schools, and other universities in the region for my current and future research.
