Our Lives Hold Archives

Featuring

SPECIAL PREVIEW   
"Creative Writing Workshop Vol. 1," The Eastern Correctional Facility creative writing anthology, assembled by the men of the Lifers & Longtermers Committee Creative Writing Workshop and published by Archive-Based Creative Arts.

Archive-Based Creative Arts is an arts program, publishing platform and archiving collective building collaborations across the prison wall. The new anthology emerged through a creative writing workshop created and led by Lamarr "Streets" Reid and Santos "Pikasso" Lopez at Eastern Correctional Facility, and was edited and compiled by ABCA's resident archivist Serious Soul Brother. The workshop and its anthology were created by incarcerated people from behind the wall, and ABCA is thrilled to preview their work for the public — and tell the story of how it all came to be.

It’s a Living Newspaper!  Diverse artistic voices will be heard via live call-ins! Poetry!  Music!  And a new cranky created by the ABCA team with Great Small Works.

Performances by: Pickle and The Deli Guys, Marlee Miller, Gretchen Van Lente, Klondyke.
