What does it look like to create a “safe space” behind prison walls that acknowledges the humanity of people facing life sentences and enables vulnerability and healing through academic and artistic endeavors? How can the arts bring grace and understanding to one another? How can we address harm while also recognizing each other’s humanity?Speakers:&nbsp;<ul><li>Jimmy Soto, PNAP Think Tank member&nbsp;</li><li>Maria Pike, Chicago activist and mother of Ricky Pike&nbsp;</li><li>Alice Kim, Director of Practice, Beyond Prisons Initiative, Center for the Study of Race, Politics &amp; Culture</li></ul>This event is free, but registration is required as space is limited.
