About the Item
To See Inside: Examining Prison Architecture includes eight paintings of prison spaces by Sarah McKenzie, as well as artwork and creative writing by eighteen artists affiliated with the University of Denver Prison Arts Initiative (DU PAI). Collectively they reflect on the places and spaces of the US prison system and its impact on the people confined within it.
McKenzie received the 2021 Marion International Fellowship for the Visual and Performing Arts, through which she was able to spend eighteen months researching and photographing prison architecture, interviewing people about their experiences inside the US carceral system, and creating a new series of paintings exploring these institutional spaces that are largely hidden away from mainstream society.
Her work led her to begin teaching with the University of Denver Prison Arts Initiative, an extraordinary program that offers a range of arts-based programming throughout the Colorado Department of Corrections. For this exhibition, McKenzie presents her paintings in conversation with artworks and creative writings by eighteen incarcerated artists, all of whom she has met through her work with DU PAI.
