Abstract

In this project, I reflect on my work as a curator for PCAP, utilizing my conversations with artists and observations within prisons to provide insight into the ways in which incarcerated artists resist carceral norms. My project works as an exhibit. This exhibit hosts pieces from PCAP’s 29th Annual Exhibition, alongside my own pieces, to create an environment encompassing resistance and community. The exhibition includes visual analysis, creative processes, and information about the pieces. These pieces provide insight into how incarcerated artists reclaim time, space, and connection in prison as an act of resistance through artmaking.
