ACTA's Traditional Arts Roundtable Series presents:
Art Breaks In: The Regenerative Power of Traditional Arts in Prisons 🌞🌿
ACTA has been facilitating traditional arts programming in California prisons for over seven years. This work deeply informed two sister programs and accompanying workbooks in 2021: Traditional Arts as Restorative Justice and Traditional Arts as Healing from Trauma.(actaonline.org/resource/new-w...)
Join us for a roundtable to hear stories, and engage with the curriculum designed by teaching artists in our Arts in Corrections program, including Rosanna Esparza Ahrens, Freddy Avila, Cesar Castro, Fabian Debora, Quetzal Flores, Betty Marín, and Federico Zuñiga, and participate in a dialogue on the regenerative power of traditional arts practice within and beyond prison walls.
One part of this event happened through small group discussions which we did not record. We also held this event in bilingually between Spanish and English, but unfortunately were not able to capture the Spanish language version. [El evento fue bilingüe en español e inglés pero desafortunadamente no pudimos grabar la versión en español].
