Dr. Toussaint Losier, Assistant Professor in African Americans and the Law at the W.E.B.

Self Determination Inside / Out
Ongoing through November 16, 2014

This comprehensive exhibition and public program series featuring the cultural materials produced by incarcerated people and their allies. Ranging from the Attica Rebellion to political prisoners, AIDS education to prisoners-as-laborers, the struggles of incarcerated women and queer people to the current wave of hunger strikes in prisons and detention centers across the country, these materials fundamentally recast the history of the prison-industrial complex.

These exhibitions are sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC). Funding also comes in part from the A.J. Muste Memorial Institute‘s Social Justice Fund.
