Art Program/Impact

Impact is a video documentary that tells the story of familiy members (and others) of people who are, or were, facing the death sentence.

We are working with the mothers, partners and children of prisoners on death row to produce a short animated video entitled Impact.
Impact creates a picture of these families’ experiences in their own words. We see this project as an opportunity to articulate the complexity
of each family’s experience. Working with each family we are layering their narratives and build a visual language mirroring the difficulties
and multy-facets of each story. Impact is a collaboration with Dee Hibbert-Jones, assistant professor of art at University of California,
Santa Cruz, and her students.
We are seeking to involve youth from the community to take part in this project, and assist them to acquire the artistic and technical skills
involved in this production.

Impact is partially funded
by Institute for Research in the Arts, University of California, and artist grant, San Francisco Arts Commission.
