[FlyingBrickAnnouncements] Movie Screening soon?!

[Mara Hyman]

oh yeah i guess more specifically, thinking about:
- art as a means of activism/ how is this project beneficial to the
ultimate goal of prison abolition?
- is this project exploitative in any way? does the artist acknowledge her
privilege? how so?
- the decision to leave Herman's physical body out of the movie-
symbolizing or silencing?
- tolerating liberalism vs. being a visible abolitionist
- things our community can do as prison abolitionists
