Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research

This exhibit showcases stories of resistance, resilience, and hope, in the face of mass incarceration, police violence, immigrant detention, and systematic racial criminalization. “Archives of Resistance” presents art, prisoner correspondence, research publications, and archival documentation produced by component projects of the Carceral State Project’s umbrella research initiative, Documenting Criminalization, Confinement, and Resistance.

Featured work is curated from: The Reckoning Project, Immigrant Justice Lab, Black & Pink at SPH, ICE in the Heartland, Critical Carceral Visualities, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through the Carceral State Projects campus partner, Prison Creative Arts Project is also on display.

About GalleryDAAS

GalleryDAAS exhibits Black visual art, collaborating with artists, curators, critics, and art historians as well as faculty and students. We celebrate and showcase work by artists of Africa and its diasporas through our artist residency program and the learning opportunities we provide to DAAS and the broader U-M community.

GalleryDAAS opened on Sept. 16, 2010 with an exhibition by DAAS founding faculty member Jon Onye Lockard, a world-renowned master painter and muralist. Since then, we have presented approximately two main exhibitions each year (during the fall and winter semesters) in a wide variety of artistic mediums.
