This exhibition draws from the Let’s Get Free permanent collection featuring art made by people in prison as well as artists in solidarity from outside of prison. It chronicles the current moment of abolitionists through drawings, paintings, prints, cross-stitch, banners, and poetry, exploring personal stories that express political yearnings and aspirations for the future. Let’s Get Free has collaborated with artists in prison for ten years and started building the permanent collection five years ago.

Let’s Get Free is a Pittsburgh based organization working to end perpetual punishment, and shift to a culture of transformative justice.

Abolitionist Expressions is on view at KST’s lobby gallery. The gallery is open to the public during and one hour before every KST Presents event. Arrive early and take a look!
