Expressions of the Soul - A showcase of art created by men and women who are incarcerated

YOU ARE INVITED
Join Dismas Ministry and the Ignatian Volunteer Corps of Milwaukee for an Afternoon of Art, Conversation, and Connection
Step into a world where creativity transcends barriers and art becomes a bridge to humanity. This unique event will showcase powerful and thought-provoking artwork created by individuals who are currently or were formerly incarcerated. Each piece in this moving exhibit explores profound themes of freedom, confinement, resilience, and self-expression, offering a glimpse into the lives, hopes, and journeys of those often unheard and unseen.
As a special highlight, the event will feature a dedicated exhibit of the latest volume of I Am Beautiful: A Book of Art, Poems, and Stories by and for Women in Prison. This remarkable collection reflects the voices, struggles, and triumphs of women navigating the challenges of incarceration, offering a deeply personal and inspiring perspective.
