Point of Triangulation sparks dialogue around public perception and bias. The mural design depicts eight community leaders from Philadelphia who all have lived experiences of incarceration, shown from two different perspectives. On one side, each person is photographed in their prison sweats, while the image on the opposite side depicts each leader in everyday clothing they wear now that they’ve come home from prison. The figures are juxtaposed in such a way in order to contrast the narrowly prescribed identity of “criminal” or “felon” with an individual’s larger, greater truth of themselves. The installation is thus intended to humanize each person and elevate their many positive contributions to the community. It also challenges viewers to consider the stigma and perpetual re-criminalization that formerly incarcerated people confront while reflecting on their own biases or preconceptions. Join us as project participants Abd’Allah Lateef, Naiymah Sanchez and John Thompson participate in a conversation with Deb Willis to discuss their experiences and justice reform.
