ART & KRIMES BY KRIMES - Film Screening and Discussion

An incarcerated artist labors over a number of years on a secret masterpiece, finding a way to survive in the act of creativity.

Join us for a screening of ART & KRIMES BY KRIMES, followed by a live discussion with system-impacted artists Asia Johnson and Adamu Chan, moderated by UCI MFA student Alberto Lule.

To end mass incarceration, we also need to change the narrative around it. ART & KRIMES BY KRIMES centers on the story of Jesse Krimes, a visual artist who survived incarceration by smuggling out his monumental artwork piece-by-piece. The film also features other acclaimed artists impacted by incarceration.

This event is sponsored by: UCI Law Criminal Justice Clinic, UCI Law Center on Law, Equality and Race, UCI Center in Law, Society, and Culture, UCI LIFTED, UCI Department of Art, UCI Underground Scholars Program, and the Poetic Justice Initiative.
