We are a cultural organizing project that uses art to model, imagine and advocate for a world without youth incarceration.

During the heart of the pandemic we created a multimedia immersive web experience designed as an educational and organizing tool that takes viewers from the history of youth incarceration to a future world where all youth are free.
Created in collaboration with youth leaders impacted by the justice system in partnership with Youth First and Columbia Youth Justice Lab.
“We need guidance, relationships, affirmations, and love when we stumble. We want to learn and make things right, but these four walls aren’t the answer. We can’t grow up in here.”

Freedom Constellations
Art can create map to a more free future! We worked with youth leaders to create a series of multimedia public art installations that visualize a world where all youth are free including an interactive mural, giant photo banners on Richmond’s city hall, a bus wrap and a film that premiered at the Smithsonian.
