The making of this exhibition has been filled with wonder, determination, inspiration, and resolve. More Beautiful shines a light on the dreams, everyday experiences, and transformative ideas of the people who inhabit “life row”–those facing life sentences in Illinois.
We’ll have food, drinks, a “humans of life row play list” and a brief program at 7:30pm.
The exhibition will serve as a water collection site in collaboration with the Coalition to Decarcerate Illinois and the Nickolas Lee Foundation. Attendees are invited to bring sealed bottles of water to the exhibition to be donated to communities at Stateville Prison. Read more about the water crisis in Illinois prisons here.
American history is longer, larger, more various, more beautiful, and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it.—James Baldwin
