7:15 – 8:00 pm ET: Reception & “Land of the Free” Open for Viewing
Join us to celebrate the opening of Land of the Free by Cody Stuhltrager, the inaugural artist-in-residence for ReVision: Art and Justice. Through a large-scale mural and gallery wall of objects, Land of the Free asks us to examine the persistent institution of prison labor and its connection to the 13th Amendment, which allows involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime, and its impact on incarcerated individuals whose labor goes largely unrecognized.
The evening will include a panel discussion anchored by the piece—featuring the artist in conversation with subject matter experts in law, art, and justice—plus musical and spoken word performances, a reception with light refreshments, and the chance to be among the first to view Land of the Free.
Remarks by Matthew Lee (Partner, Fox Rothschild LLP; Board Chair, Eastern State) and Lauren Zalut (Partnerships & Arts Program Steward, Eastern State).
Panel featuring Cody Stuhltrager (Artist-in-Residence, ReVision: Art and Justice; creator of Land of the Free).
Live performances by Miles Orion Butler (musician; Co-Founder, Songs in the Key of Free) and Ursula Rucker (poet, recording artist, and activist).
ReVision: Art & Justice is a multi-year artist residency and exhibition series that centers original work by justice-impacted artists whose lived experiences inform their creative practice. Through site-specific commissions, exhibitions, and public programs, ReVision amplifies artists' voices while creating opportunities for dialogue, reflection, and connection.
