Film, music, poetry, discussion with Toshi Reagon, Liza Jessie Peterson, and Joseph Jackson

Through film, performance, and discussion, acclaimed artists Toshi Reagon (McKeen Visiting Fellow, 2022–2023) and Liza Jessie Peterson—activist playwright, poet, and the focus of a film that details her experience performing in Angola prison, Angola Do You Hear Us?—reflect on the impact of carcerality on our social well-being. Reagon and Peterson will be joined in conversation by Joseph Jackson, interim co-executive director and director of community programs at Maine Inside Out and executive director of Maine Prisoner Advocacy Coalition.
