Curator Talk with Rachel Nelson & Luke A. Fidler, The Writing on the Wall

Join curators Rachel Nelson and Luke A. Fidler, from UCSC's Institute of the Arts and Sciences, as they talk about the MAH's current exhibition The Writing on the Wall.

Emulating a prison cell, The Writing on the Wall at the MAH recreates these largely unseen spaces in a public sphere. The Writing on the Wall is organized by Rachel Nelson and Gina Dent in partnership with the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History as part of Visualizing Abolition, a public scholarship initiative at UC Santa Cruz designed to shift the social attachment to prisons through art and education. Funding for Visualizing Abolition is provided by the Mellon Foundation.
