Mitigating Evidence: Shifting Narrative About Criminalized Youth

@ Alphawood Gallery

2401 N Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60614

Opening Wednesday, November 8th, from 6PM - 8PM

How can we, individually and collectively, interrupt the stereotypes and fears of incarcerated, court-involved and criminalized youth?

This workshop will explore the Mitigating Evidence strategies designed by Free Write Arts & Literacy, a Chicago-based organization with 18 years of experience engaging incarcerated and court-involved youth in art making, literacy skill building and post-incarceration employment. The conversation will focus on the effects of unconstitutional policing strategies and the School-To-Prison Pipeline on Chicago’s most vulnerable young people.
