Read about the creation of
Meet Us Quickly With Your Mercy
as documented by Life as a Modern Dancer

"In 2018, Jo put out a call for a Black change-maker interested in engaging with a Jewish artist about racial justice and prison abolition. Rahsaan responded. In the more than 2 years we’ve been in collaboration, we’ve written 45 letters, sat down together over vending machine meals in San Quentin’s visiting room twice, and shared over 100 phone calls. We are different from each other. Black and White, Muslim and Jewish (though our religious practices are only lightly etched), Male and Female. Incarcerated and Free. Writer and Choreographer."

- Jo Kreiter and Rahsaan Thomas

CounterPulse

"Prison Renaissance, a non-profit created on a prison yard, launched a program in 2020 called Empowerment Avenue that is aimed at empowering incarcerated artists. PR helps them earn a living through their art, get their voices included in conversations about social justice and connect them to society. This show teams up with Flyaway Productions. Thirteen San Quentin artists' paintings and prints created to end mass incarceration are featured on the walls of Counterpulse’s lobby from October 14–October 17, 2021. Come see the art before or after the show runs."

- Guest Curator Rahsaan Thomas

Check out the poems of
GIRLFLY in the Gardens
in the San Francisco Bayview Newspaper!

"This year’s GIRLFLY in the Gardens was built around the three key ideas of “Land, Belonging and Racial Justice.” As young women and non-binary people moving through the world, it can be hard to claim a sense of belonging, particularly in public spaces mired in racial injustice."
