Wendy Jason talks about Carole Alden, who was one of the artists for Justice Arts Coalition’s first exhibition of art by incarcerated artists at Rhizome DC. She notes the many barriers present in the prison for artists to express themselves creatively, moreover, to show their work to the outside world. After some time of building rapport, Carole joined the exhibition that Wendy organized, which included her work along with other artists, created while in prison. Wendy talks about childhood issues and how volunteering at a local soup kitchen in Connecticut changed direction in her life and provided a sense of community and belonging. She continues to learn about women’s rights, racial justice issues, as she studies restorative justice and invests time in service work, leading up to overseeing the Prison Arts Coalition website. This network grows and provides creative resources for incarcerated artists and their families. Two years later, Wendy funds a national non-profit organization-the Justice Arts Coalition, uniting teaching artists, arts advocates, currently and formerly incarcerated artists, and allies, harnessing the transformative power of the arts to reimagine justice. Wendy reflects on Justice Arts Coalition’s first exhibition of works by incarcerated artists held at Rhizome DC.
