Redaction: A Conversation with Titus Kaphar and Reginald Dwayne Betts

Register

Throughout their careers, visual artist and filmmaker Titus Kaphar and memoirist, poet, and attorney Reginald Dwayne Betts have used their varied mediums to confront the abuses of the criminal justice system. Their Redaction series, originally on display at PS1, presented more than 30 new prints and a series of public programs that examine the issue of money bail, the condition of the state and federal court system by which those arrested, but unable to afford bail, remain incarcerated even though they have been neither tried nor convicted.

Titus Kaphar and Dwayne Betts will discuss their most recent iteration of Redaction, which includes portraits of Mural Arts Philadelphia Guild members and redactions of the Declaration of Independence, the inspiration behind these pieces and the stories they wish to bring to light.

Rendering Justice and the Reimagining Reentry Fellowship are supported by the Art for Justice Fund and are projects of Mural Arts’ Restorative Justice program, supported by the City of Philadelphia, Berkowitz Family Foundation, Connelly Foundation, PA Department of Community and Economic Development, Fierce Advocacy Fund, Fleischner Family Foundation, Hess Foundation, Hummingbird Foundation, Jane and Joe Goldblum, Independence Foundation, Lenfest Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, Ann & Frank Reed, and the Patricia Segal and Stephen Segal Family Charitable Foundation.
