I’m Literally Taking It Out the Mud

I’m Literally Taking It Out the Mud, a creative project, based on Felicia’s dissertation (Invisible and Hypervisible: The Impact of the Carceral State on Black Women’s Disaster Experience) celebrates Black women’s spirit of resistance as they rebuild their lives in the aftermath of involvement in the criminal legal system. The exhibition features the stories of Black women under community supervision during COVID-19 through audio, visual, and spoken word representations, with the permission and collaboration of the participants.
