A collaboration of Detroit Public Theatre & the Prison Creative Arts Project

More about the film:
MTV Documentary Films Presents *Angola Do You Hear Us? Voices From a Plantation Prison* (formerly known as A Peculiar Silence) tells the story of playwright Liza Jessie Peterson, whose acclaimed play *The Peculiar Patriot* was shut down mid-performance at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly known as Angola Prison.

Directed and edited by Cinque Northern, produced by Catherine Gund, featuring Liza Jessie Peterson and Norris Henderson (Peterson and Henderson are also Executive Producers), the film examines how one woman's play challenged the country's largest plantation prison and impacted the incarcerated men long after the record of her visit was erased by the institution's administration.

More about the play:
LaQuanda ‘Betsy’ Ross knows a lot about the New York State Penitentiary system. Her regular visits to loved ones in various upstate institutions have made her quite the expert and a self-proclaimed “Peculiar Patriot." In-between neighborhood updates and gossip, Betsy educates herself and the audience on the systemic inequity within America’s prison complex system and its effect on those behind bars, as well as their family and friends.

Written and performed by the incomparable Liza Jessie Peterson, The Peculiar Patriot was inspired by her comprehensive and extensive work in prisons, including on Riker’s Island. Peterson’s tour de force solo piece is an important, funny, and profound investigative look into America’s criminal justice system.

Come join Thomas J. Sugrue in conversation with U-M historians Angela D. Dillard and Matthew D. Lassiter as they discuss the historical roots of the current challenges facing American cities. Sugrue is the author of The Origins of the Urban Crisis: Race and Inequality in Postwar Detroit, a landmark study tracing the decline of the Motor City to factors including racism, housing discrimination, and deindustrialization, all conditions that predated the 1967 uprising.

He is a frequent media commentator on modern American history, politics, civil rights, and urban policy.

Angela D. Dillard is Richard A. Meisler Collegiate Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies, History, and in the Residential College at the University of Michigan. Her publications include Faith in the City: Preaching Radical Social Change in Detroit (2007) and A Different Shade of Freedom: The Making of Civil Rights Conservatism in America (forthcoming). In addition to serving as chair of the History Department she is also co-PI on the Michigan-Mellon Egalitarian Metropolis project.

Matthew D. Lassiter is Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of History and of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Michigan. His publications include Detroit Under Fire: Police Violence, Crime Politics, and the Struggle for Racial Justice in the Civil Rights Era (2021) and The Suburban Crisis: White America and the War on Drugs (forthcoming).

Over the last five decades the City of Detroit has felt the crisis of mass incarceration first-hand and most acutely. Historian Heather Ann Thompson will discuss the origins of this crisis nationally and locally, its lived impact on city residents as well as on the city itself. From this history, she argues, we can better understand not only why this is the civil and human rights crisis of the 21st century, but what it will take to undo it.

Register Here: https://myumi.ch/n7gk3

This evening event is free for members and free with museum admission for non-members.

5-6 p.m. Prior to the program, view the *Humanize the Numbers* exhibition on display now in the Community Gallery

6-8 p.m. Lecture in the Booth Auditorium

Dr. Heather Ann Thompson is a native Detroiter and historian on faculty of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in the departments of Afro-American and African Studies, History, and the Residential College.

Thompson has published numerous books and has written extensively on the history of policing, mass incarceration and the current criminal justice system for The New York Times, Newsweek, Time, The Atlantic, Salon, Dissent, NBC, New Labor Forum, The Daily Beast, and The Huffington Post, as well as for the top publications in her field.

*Humanize the Numbers* presents the perspectives of men in Michigan prisons.

The prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height, weight, etc. In the process, their humanity is denied.

This exhibit reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so, those in prison reclaim their humanity.

The goal of *In And On Our Own Terms* is for each artist to tell a story from their own experience that would not typically be part of the broader narrative about mass incarceration.

The goal is not to define any artist by the experience of having been incarcerated, but rather to amplify a story that only that artist can tell—a story that is important to the artist to tell, and an opportunity to use the medium of theatre to share it with the community.

Humanize the Numbers (July 22, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/108924 108924-21820596@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, July 22, 2023 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

*Humanize the Numbers* presents the perspectives of men in Michigan prisons.

The prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height, weight, etc. In the process, their humanity is denied.

This exhibit reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so, those in prison reclaim their humanity.

Proudly presented by Prison Creative Arts Project, MI Radio, and The Guild of Artists & Artisans

Beginning Friday, August 11th, the exhibit Shared Humanity will be featured at the Greater Flint Arts Council from the Prison Creative Arts Project’s (PCAP) private collection. The artwork is for sale and will be on display through September 1, 2023.

According to Sarah Unrath, Curator and PCAP's Community Engagement Specialist, “The exhibition is designed to connect viewers to artists through the wide gamut of their human experiences. We all have dreams, memories, goals, pasts. We all process emotions of anger, joy, grief, and nostalgia. We have specially selected works that show a culmination of ways artists in prison have navigated the complex realities of being human.”

The curatorial staff at PCAP worked closely with artists who were formerly incarcerated to select works that would fit the theme of this exhibition and be of interest to the broader audience. Visitors will see works from familiar artists, including Andy Wynkoop, An ArtsyGuy, RIK, Roger (Free-Hand) Stephenson, and many others.

“This exhibition centralizes intersecting themes and multi-faceted layers of what it means to be human. Our hope is to challenge the lens through which the exhibit audience looks at people in prison. Coming out of a season that has worn us thin of human connection, this exhibit presents a unique opportunity to engage in powerful dialogue inspired by the art in Shared Humanity,” says Unrath

Admission is free and open to the public.

“This exhibition centralizes intersecting themes and multi-faceted layers of what it means to be human. Our hope is to challenge the lens through which the exhibit audience looks at people in prison. Coming out of a season that has worn us thin of human connection, this exhibit presents a unique opportunity to engage in powerful dialogue inspired by the art in Shared Humanity,” says Unrath

Admission is free and open to the public.

Join us for a screening of *Master of Light* and discussion with artists and staff from the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP).

Master of Light is a beautiful documentary about George Anthony Morton, an artist who studied classical painting while incarcerated and returned to his hometown to reconnect with his family, painting their portraits to bond and heal. It’s a powerful, raw, hopeful film you don't want to miss!

The screening will be followed by a discussion about the transformative power of arts in prisons with artist Flint Kougar, Program Coordinator - Mary Heinen, and Arts Programming Coordinator - Emily Chase. This event is part of the *Shared Humanity* traveling art sale & exhibition.

Presented by the Greater Flint Arts Council

Counselors, Cops, and the Political Economy of Public Safety in K-12 Schools (October 11, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/113220 113220-21830543@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 11, 2023 12:00pm
Location: LSA Building
Organized By: Department of Sociology

Drawing on five years of ethnographic fieldwork and archival research in Syracuse, New York, Beardall introduces the concept of "the policing contract." She reframes police as public employees and city residents as their municipal employers – and examines how this underexplored relationship shapes police presence in K-12 schools. This research builds a critical labor dimension into the school safety literature and broadens our understanding of schools as carceral spaces.

Join us for this event on October 11. RSVP for lunch at forms.gle/p4fLw9GSM5Rf11s4A.
