EXHIBITS & EVENTS
Art for Justice (AfJ) Presentation, Art Display, and Interactive Experience took place at Arcadia University on 11/14/23. Professor Kevin Review invited AfJ to bring art by individuals experiencing injustice to stimulate conversations about those injustices and the struggles taking place to right these wrongs for students in his class, “Wrongful Convictions and Exonerations”, and other students at Arcadia.
AfJ asked Muti Ajamu-Osagboro to be our speaker for the event. Muti spoke about being sentenced to death by incarceration when he was a child and experiencing 42 years of incarceration for a crime he said did not commit. AfJ shared the art of Charles Lawson (Zafir), Daniel Gwynn, Eduard Ramirez, Rene Ortiz, and George Lopez.
