Tune in for a conversation with ART FROM THE INSIDE (AFTI) founder ANTONIO ESPINOSA about the transformational power of art, hosted by JUST EDUCATION and the WEISMAN ART MUSEUM. AFTI is a project that creates space for incarcerated artists to share their creative work and their voice. This event includes a screening of AFTI’s documentary, Transformation (2021), featuring works of incarcerated artists, followed by a roundtable conversation on Zoom, exploring where we can take action to promote the creative talents of these and other artists and how we can reverse the ripple effects of incarceration in Minnesota. This discussion will be facilitated by INGRID NUTTALL (Just Education co-founder), with participation of ANTONIO ESPINOSA (AFTI founder), ELAINE AUYOUNG (Donald V. Hawkins Professor and Associate Professor of English), and AFTI ARTISTS.
