Join the Wende Museum for a panel discussion about the transformative power of art in prisons with Annie Buckley, artist, writer, and founding director of Prison Arts Collective; Meetra Johansen, social entrepreneur, curator, and founding director of Huma House; Christian Branscombe, artist and independent coach who served 24 years in prison; artist and art teacher Ezequiel Gonzalez, who served 12 years in prison before his 23-year sentence was commuted by Governor Brown and he was subsequently deported to Mexico; and Kenneth Webb, a self-taught artist who was incarcerated when he was 18 years old and is serving a life sentence. Gonzalez will participate via zoom from Mexico; Webb will phone in from his prison cell. A light reception in the garden will follow the program.
