Even being behind bars cannot imprison the creative spirit of some women.
That’s proven by the multimedia art exhibit “Voices in Time: Lives in Limbo,” which aims to provide female inmates a venue for expression and healing. Organizers also wanted to help viewers appreciate the full humanity and predicament of female inmates.
“I hope that viewers can see the work, hear the voices of the artists, identify with their pain and their hopes,” said Salome Chasnoff, executive director of Beyondmedia Education, one of the exhibit’s organizers.
“Voices” opens Friday at Las Manos Gallery, 5220 N. Clark St. In conjunction with the exhibit, weekly panels will discuss issues pertaining to inmates. Crafts by incarcerated women also will be available for purchase.
