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. Keshad is proposing to do workshops inside of a selected youth carceral facility that focus on personal development, identity and sociopolitical consciousness. 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 similar workshop series as their incarcerated counterparts. By executing this project with both cohorts, we amplify a dialogue among New York City Youth who are on different parts of the school-to-prison pipeline spectrum.
