A Note From the Field 003: The Story From Within
Join us for Keshad’s Open Studio!
The Story From Within is a project designed to reawaken the human sensibilities of both incarcerated youth and youth who are currently implicated in the criminal justice system. I am proposing to do workshops inside a selected youth carceral facility that focuses on personal development, identity, and sociopolitical consciousness. Visual art and poetic prose are the pedagogical tools that will be used to support students on this journey. A key element of these workshops is sharing the creative contributions of these incarcerated youth with the public – specifically a cohort of youth on the outside who are currently attempting to avoid incarceration. Youth on the outside will be selected from a local non-profit organization, and these selected youth will be prompted to engage in a workshop series similar to that of their incarcerated counterparts.
