About this Event
Join the Mayor's Office on Women's Policy and Initiatives and the Mayor's Office on African American Affairs for a lunch and learn session for African American Women to view the Inside Out art exhibit, rooted in the vision of documentary photographer and educator Karen Ruckman, whose “Arts In Pr*son” photography program took place at DC’s Lorton Correctional Complex.
For nearly a decade, the course transformed lives and expanded the visual record of incarceration. Inside Out also features the documentary film In Lorton’s Darkroom, co-produced by former program participants who continue to shape and carry forward the legacy of this work.
The film offers a rare, first-person perspective on how access to cameras, community, and craft transformed the way participants saw themselves and were seen by others.
