Community in Action

As Los Angeles communities face evolving policies, systemic inequities, and deepening uncertainty, the need to come together—to share stories and resources, to tend to each other and foster solidarity and resilience—has never been more vital.

JUSTICE + ART JAM bridges the broader public with individuals impacted by incarceration, centering our shared humanity through art and advocacy. At the heart of this event is a commitment to creating a gathering space, where those most affected by the justice system can come together with the public to envision a more just and compassionate city.

Visitors will freely explore a rich variety of offerings from contributing partners:

Produced by LA Freewaves and Future IDs and co-curated by
Gregory Sale, Emiliano Lopez, Jeanette Degollado, and Anne Bray.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS

LA Freewaves is a public art organization committed to the multicultural landscape of Los Angeles, transforming civic spaces into hubs of radical creativity that invite communities to reflect, rethink, and re-engage with social issues through art.

Future IDs is a social impact campaign led by a group of artists, allies, and most importantly, individuals with conviction histories working together to express the collective power of rescripting identity, artistic representation, and narrative during and after incarceration.

Supported by grants from the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, LA County Arts Commission, California Arts Council, and Community Partners and in collaboration with Los Angeles State Historic Park and Los Angeles River State Park Partners.
