This week, Illinois Humanities’ Envisioning Justice RE:ACTION, a virtual exhibition and interactive toolkit, opens to the public. Designed to generate action, reflection, and community conversation around mass incarceration, the exhibition and activation kit, created in partnership with 14 commissioned artists and humanists (including an installation by Pulitzer Prize winner Mitchell S. Jackson), illustrates the impacts of mass incarceration while providing a way for participants to share their visions of justice. Commissioned artists and humanists were tasked to create new work that responds to – and grapples with – mass incarceration in impacted communities throughout Illinois. Each of the commissioned works is accompanied by a prompt that leads users through real-world activities designed to question their relationships to the carceral state, encourage healing, and get involved in their communities. After completing a prompt, users’ responses are shared on the website for others to read, listen, and watch, and become part of a crowdsourced response to mass incarceration.
