Sackler Center for Feminist Art presents a discussion of art in prison and the role of creativity in transforming lives. Kelly Donnelly and Lisette Oblitas-Cruz, formerly incarcerated women who contributed work to the exhibition, converse with acclaimed author Wally Lamb. Since 1999, Lamb has led a writing workshop at York Correctional Institution. The program has generated two compilations, which he has edited: Couldn\u2019t Keep It to Myself: Wally Lamb and the Women of York Correctional Institution (Testimonies from Our Imprisoned Sisters) and I\u2019ll Fly Away: Further Testimonies from the Women of York Prison. Joseph Lea, retired Library Media Specialist at York Correctional Institution, moderates. Special remarks by Dannel and Cathy Malloy, the Governor and First Lady of Connecticut. Part of the ongoing Sackler Center series &#8220;States of Denial: The Illegal Incarceration of Women, Children, and People of Color.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tickets and information available at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brooklynmuseum.org\/calendar\/event\/discussion_touching_humanity_creativity_and_transformation_09_13_15\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.brooklynmuseum.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday, September 13 02PM Brooklyn Museum 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, New York 11238\u20136052<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=56574"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56574\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56575,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56574\/revisions\/56575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=56574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=56574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=56574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
