The BackWall event is presented in partnership with nonprofit organization Healing Broken Circles, which provides opportunities for people touched by the justice system to heal, learn and thrive. The organization works to create new and unprecedented educational, artistic and transformative experiences through work steeped in the understanding that, in uplifting the voices, stories, talents, skills, expertise and purpose of people who are incarcerated and formerly incarcerated, we can promote equity, empathy and healthier communities for us all.
Join us for an evening of music, dance, stories and spoken word by artists deeply impacted by mass incarceration. The BackWall performers have experienced incarceration firsthand or are from communities most deeply impacted by mass incarceration.
