Summary

1. 'Walls Turned Sideways' accompanies the largest museum presentation to investigate the criminal justice system in the US. What is the social role and responsibility of the artist in times of political urgency? What functions can only art and artists fulfill in the political landscape? This catalog discusses the work of more than 30 artists from across the nation, with works spanning the past 40 years, who address the criminal justice system and the prison industrial complex. The book's title derives from a quote by political activist and author Angela Davis: "Walls turned sideways are bridges."
