“Can you see me? Here, in this place?”: Reading and Panel Discussion

"Can You See Me?" art
Georgia Museum of Art

Join the Common Good Atlanta community and UGA English alumni for a reading of work authored by students at Whitworth Women’s Facility. The exhibition “Art is a form of freedom,” on view through July 2, presents a spoken-word celebration of voice. Taking the form of poetry, essays, fiction and philosophy, this ekphrastic writing reflects the power of art to create conversations across the carceral divide. The reading will be followed by a panel discussion on art, education and the impact of higher education in and out of Georgia’s incarceration system.
