Date and time
Location
Online event
A special screening of a hand-drawn animated short made by artists serving long prison sentences and a talk on transforming justice.
About this event
Join us on August 18 for a special screening of “The Long Term” (2018, 13 mins.), a hand-drawn animated film created by a group of artists serving long and life sentences in Illinois and co-produced by the Prison + Neighborhood Arts/Education Project (PNAP). Blending candid autobiography, potent political analysis, and visionary imagery, the film is a powerful call to transform how we approach harm and imagine justice. After the screening, several of the artists involved will share their reflections on the film, on political struggles against the prison system, and on their experiences surviving and building community over the long term.
Participating artists in this event include Brandon Shaw, Charles McLaurin, Chester “Chuck” Brost, Darrell W. Fair, Devon Daniels, Elton Williams, Flynard “Fly 1” Miller, Joseph Dole, and Johnny Taylor. The other artists behind “The Long Term” are Francisco “Paco” Estrada, Raul Fernandez, Damon Locks, R Dot Nandez, Andrés Reyes, Sarah Ross, and Bring.
Pablo Mendoza, a lead organizer at Parole Illinois who was previously incarcerated in Illinois, will moderate the event. A member of the RAPP Campaign (Release Aging People in Prison) will bridge Illinois struggles and the fight for parole justice in New York State.
