This event has ended.

Curated by Katie Fuller

Held in collaboration with A.I.R. Gallery, (Our Love Is) Unbroken by Bars is an ongoing art and storytelling project curated by Katie Fuller with prints and a mural by Jess X Snow that addresses the systemic neglect of women, who are the fastest growing prison population.

This narrative of violence is told through the stories of three formerly incarcerated women who found the power within themselves to change the direction of their lives in spite of the adversity they faced. During a series of intimate interviews in 2016, Snow and Fuller learned in great detail about the prison system’s failure to work with domestic and sexual abuse survivors, and those struggling with addiction. This very system failed them during the birth of their children, forced them to fight for their love and trust as they grew, then failed in their transition out. Each woman beat the likelihood of recidivism, received job training and pursued college and professional degrees.
