We are looking for friends, families, artists, and activists, to create self-organized public arts and gathering in San Francisco and other cities on WEAR ORANGE FOR A DAY Tuesday March 11, 2008 – A Day of Activities to Raise Awareness about the Scope of Incarceration in California and Beyond.
What are we looking for: people to facilitate activities that would contribute to a public dialogue about prisons and how they function in our society.
Public Art and Gatherings could be, but not limited to: group and individual activities; lead a conversation with coworkers, family and friends about prisoner struggles; take a 15 minute break and research how incarceration effects our society, families, youth, and yourself; tabling as performance (share what you learn about correctional facilities); art installations, luncheons in orange, speeches, readings, solo artworks, workshops, public performances, games, creative demonstrations, interventions, silent meditation, any way you feel best to participate in the efforts to encourage people to discuss prisons.
Please register your event online:
