Reading as Resistance: Fall of Freedom National Day of Action

Art Papers was pleased to participate in Fall of Freedom’s National Day of Action by hosting an afternoon of live readings, solidarity, and discussion. We invited our community to come together to collectively share written wisdom written by those who have persevered in the face of reactionary, authoritarian attempts to silence dissenting voices. In partnership with the Atlanta chapter of the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee, we also provided materials to write letters to political prisoners.

In case you missed our event, here are some resources to learn more about communicating across prison walls.
