Modes of Freedom IV: Beyond Crime and Punishment
This event was organised by Cait Campbell and FreeStrata Projects.
Please join us Monday, September 19th, 2022, from 6-7:30PM EST for the next installment of Modes of Freedom IV: Beyond Crime and Punishment. Where we will continue to collectively delve deeper into stories of resilience in the face of incarceration with a live public screening of “Silence is Consent: The Crime” directed by filmmaker, artist, writer, and carceral system survivor Kamisha Thomas. Screening will be followed by a discussion with the director and an immersive musical performance. We look forward to seeing you again!
