Join the Carceral State Project and GalleryDAAS for a special evening! Start with an exhibit walk-through and reception at GalleryDAAS in Haven Hall (G648) from 4pm to 6pm, then move to UMMA Sterns Auditorium for a talk "Archives of Resistance: Documenting the Carceral Experience in Michigan" by Dr. Heather Ann Thompson. Heather will be introduced by Professor Christian Davenport and joined by Carceral State Project researchers sharing insight into their experience with the research, the collaborations, and the individual stories at the heart of the Carceral State Project.

Archives of Resistance: Visuals & Voices from The Carceral State Project will be open in GalleryDAAS from December 8, 2025 to January 30, 2025. Curated by the Carceral State Project student researchers, faculty and staff, the exhibit brings together public scholarship, creative expression, multimedia storytelling, and archival documentation produced through the project’s major research teams and campus partners. The research and exhibit pieces center the lived experiences and resilient resistance of those impacted by Michigan’s carceral systems.
