About this event
Incorrigibles: Bearing Witness to the Incarcerated Girls of New York advocates for youth justice through exploration and illumination of the past. Incorrigibles gives voice to the untold stories of those sent to the New York Training School for Girls throughout the 20th century. Located in Hudson, New York, the institution was established in 1904 as the only state-run re-educational facility to provide training for “delinquent” girls between the ages of 12 and 18; closing in 1975.
Newburgh was one of the main communities that sent "incorrigible" girls to this institution.
Premiering in the exhibition is Incorrigibles’ “Expert Voices” a series of video dialogs on incarceration, trauma, and healing practices, along with archival and recent documentation and testimonies.
The exhibition at Ann Street Gallery opens on May 28th and spans the summer until September 9th.
