Correspondence

By Sophia Dawson

Sophia Dawson's collection of letters and ephemera from incarcerated members of the Black Liberation Movement. The book sheds light on Dawson's journey that inspired her murals, large-scale portraits, videos, sound pieces, and performances. In 2010, Dawson started working on the "To Be Free" project. It captures, through art, the life-stories and experiences of political activists imprisoned in the 60s. Through her work, she attempts to humanize social justice issues through personal stories, raise the profile of each individual political prisoner in the mainstream, inspire, educate, inform, and direct audiences to support the release of political prisoners in the United States.
