Juvenile-In-Justice will soon be in the halls of the National Gallery of Art through an acquisition of some of our collection. Rather than celebrating the artifacts set to be dawning frames on the walls soon, the feat accomplished through this, is rather that these individuals, their stories, faces, these images — people most often hidden away now have a voice in such a major national institution.
The National Gallery of Art celebrates and educates those from around the world on American art throughout history. The art of confinement is history in America. Now, through art, these individuals have a chance to tell their story, in preservation, through a different form.
Accompanying the print images are digital files available for more extensive community use to alter points of view and policy.
