The BLACK Gallery presents Window into Solitary

Written By Tai Carpenter

 The BLACK Gallery is honored to present our latest exhibition, Window into Solitary, in partnership with Look2Justice. Through striking portraits and first-person testimony, the exhibition invites us to confront the human cost of isolation while honoring the resilience of those who endured it. Each image is paired with powerful written reflections from participants about their time in solitary confinement and their perspectives on its widespread use across the U.S. carceral system. 

The project is in conjunction with the publication of Ending Isolation: The Case Against Solitary Confinement, a new book by Christopher Blackwell, Prof. Deborah Zalesne, Kwaneta Harris, and Dr. Terry Kupers exposing the cruel and unusual punishment experienced by close to 125,000 of our fellow citizens each day inside prisons across America. 

Please join us for the opening reception from 5-8pm on Saturday, March 14th. Expect remarks by Look2Justice, The BLACK Gallery and Mark Wilson of Oregon Justice Resource Center. Light refreshments will be served. Free RSVP is encouraged via EventBrite.
