Parables from Prison

Everett artist Prince Nwankwo is an activist, teacher, actor, and director with direct experience of the juvenile justice system: He was incarcerated for most of his teenage years, from age 15 to 19. Everett met Prince when he was still in detention and since his release we have been collaborating on creating Parables from Prison - a series of short films intended to provoke and facilitate conversations about systems change related to juvenile justice, and support incarcerated youth in developing the social and emotional skills to heal trauma.

Co-organizers:

  • Aaron Jungels, Co-Artistic and Executive Director, Everett
  • Prince Nwankwo, Everett Artist

Everett's space is accessible via a ramp that leads to the back door. There is an accessible restroom.

Organized by

The Imagining America consortium (IA) brings together scholars, artists, designers, humanists, and organizers to imagine, study, and enact a more just and liberatory ‘America’ and world. Working across institutional, disciplinary, and community divides, IA strengthens and promotes public scholarship, cultural organizing, and campus change that inspires collective imagination, knowledge-making, and civic action on pressing public issues.

By dreaming and building together in public, IA creates the conditions to shift culture and transform inequitable institutional and societal structures.
