Sharing a belief that cultural problems demand cultural solutions, a committed group of arts and social justice advocates created Future IDs at Alcatraz, a socially engaged art project, exhibition, and series of community programs about justice reform and second chances after incarceration.
Artist Gregory Sale, together with core project collaborators Dr. Luis Garcia, Kirn Kim, Sabrina Reid, Jessica Tully, and many others, worked to translate advocacy and reform efforts into a visual language to reframe the narrative of reentry.
The resulting exhibition featured ID-inspired artworks created by and with individuals with conviction histories as they conceived and developed a vision for a future self. The exhibition also acted as a container for a series of community programs, co-created with over 20 community partner organizations.
