Paño Connections Traveling Prison Art Exhibition
Gallery Open for Public Viewing Monday to Thursday 10 am - 8 pm, September 12 - October 5
The University of Wyoming, in collaboration with Paño Connections Traveling Prison Art Exhibition and Programming, will feature a series of events both on campus and off.
To center the lives, voices and creativity of the incarcerated, a key feature of this symposium is the two-part prison art exhibition series, “Paño Connections: Vast Horizons/Confined Spaces.” It is a traveling exhibition and programming initiative that fosters dialogue and rehabilitation through works created by incarcerated, formerly incarcerated and families of incarceration.
The permanent collection includes traditional prison folk art, such as paños and crafts, as well as fine art and a diverse range of media sourced from its environment -- reflecting the unique ingenuity and resilience of carceral art and culture.
Featured works in this two-part series include works from the nationally recognized “Conviction Series” by artist and chief curator Eric Christo Martinez; art and poetry from individuals incarcerated across Wyoming’s five correctional facilities -- including students in the Pathways from Prison program; Wyoming residents housed in out-of-state facilities; and formerly incarcerated Wyoming artists.
These events are sponsored by the Wyoming Pathways from Prison Program, UW Department of Cultural Studies, UW Honors College, Devine Law, UW Department of Criminal Justice and Sociology, and ALCES Community Works.
