This panel is dedicated to deconstructing the idea that good design can make a jail humane. Our speakers will discuss the history of Rikers as a reformist project, critically examine the "justice hubs" model for the Borough-Based Jail project and its broader national implications, discuss the role of public art and the beautification of carceral buildings, and take a look locally at how city and state development projects for Chinatown beyond the jails are also shaped by policing.
Panelists:
Tomie Arai - Public artist & Co-founder, Chinatown Art Brigade
Mei Lum - Founder, The W.O.W. Project
Mon Mohapatra - Abolitionist Researcher
Jarrod Shanahan - Author, Captives: How Rikers Island Took New York City Hostage
Please wear a mask in our space, extra will be available if you need. We are located off the J, N, Q, and 6 trains at Canal St. Hope to see you!
