Organized in collaboration with The Beat Within, this is the first exhibition to be dedicated to the artwork and poems made by the youth who have contributed to the publication for the past 20 years. The Beat Within is a group exhibition of youth artists who are currently incarcerated. Growing up in an environment that lacks resources many marginalized young adolescents end up incarcerated due to a system that criminalizes their existence from a young age The art in the exhibition demonstrates the ability of those who are suffering to still create beauty. Through this exhibition we on the outside have the opportunity to celebrate the resilience of the artists.
