In partnership with the African American Museum in Philadelphia, Mural Arts Philadelphia brings you Rendering Justice, which opened online on October 28. The exhibition, curated by artist Jesse Krimes, is an expansive examination of mass incarceration and an unflinching depiction of the contemporary United States.
Rendering Justice features a cohort of nine artists from across the country whose work highlights a broad range of issues bound in mass incarceration, with a particular focus on Philadelphia. While the number of people jailed and imprisoned by Philadelphia’s criminal justice system has declined dramatically in recent years, the city remains one of the most heavily incarcerated in the nation. Rendering Justice is created in partnership with the African American Museum in Philadelphia and is made possible with a grant from the Art for Justice Fund.
