‘Free Our Mothers, Uncuff Our Communities’: Formerly Incarcerated Women Sell Art to End Cash Bail

Uncategorized Posted: May 21, 2019 4:55 pm

“[Latyra] Blake and her collaborators made the artworks as part of Women in Reentry, a project of the People’s Paper Co-op. Together, they’ve spent months learning to make paper from their own shredded criminal records, coming up with sayings that reflect their experiences behind bars, and then collaborating with artists across the country to turn their words and images into art. And from art into action. Now, these works are on sale to raise money to bail out other Philadelphia area women for Mother’s Day.” – Next City
