A New Art Exhibition Raises Awareness About Solitary Confinement in U.S. Prisons and Jails

All Of It with Alison Stewart | May 10, 2022

A new art exhibition, I Can Show You the Way Out, depicts the torment of solitary confinement. The art show, curated by Gregory Thornbury, features several abstract paintings created by formerly incarcerated activist, artist and author Chris Wilson. He joins us to talk about his collaboration with House of Puff and Etain to raise awareness about solitary confinement. The exhibition opens on May 12 and will remain on view until June 10 at Etain located at 242 E. 58th Street.
