Envisioning Abolition Futures through Arts, Cultural Organizing, Media

As the grassroots abolition movement continues to grow, people are connecting the local fight against the Chinatown jail scraper to the larger demands of ending the carceral state. Cultural workers and artists have always played an important role in movement building and organizing. Now more than ever we are compelled to think outside of the box, to reimagine a radically different society - one that is more just - that upholds our common racial, economic, climate and social justice values.

This program will feature artists’ work that highlight Black and Asian solidarity, prison abolition and place based resistance. Chinatown Art Brigade hopes this discussion will unleash the collective imagination and creative vision for an abolitionist future.

Panelists: Louise Yeung, Sunnie Liu, Rohan Zhou-Lee and more.
