Screening of the documentary Art & Krimes by Krimes, followed by Q&A with artist Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter.
Art & Krimes is about artist Jesse Krimes, who secretly created monumental artwork while locked up in federal prison. Working with prison bed sheets, hair gel, and newspaper, he created small panels that he smuggled out piece by piece, ultimately creating a 40-foot mural that he saw only upon coming home.
Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter is an award-winning artist who creates work about her experience of incarceration and offers a critical perspective on the particular challenges women of color face when they become immersed in the criminal justice system. This event is offered in coordination with the exhibition Life on Hold at Gormley Gallery, which features artwork by women incarcerated at the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women.
