“The drawings in ‘The Pencil Is a Key’ are from different historical periods and broadly international in scope. They demonstrate various aesthetic traditions and levels⁣ of training. What they powerfully have in common is the brutal force of institutional confinement as the condition under which artists create.” —Nicole R. Fleetwood, Professor of American Studies and Art History at Rutgers University⁣
⁣
Learn more about the historical and contemporary drawings on view by incarcerated people from all over the globe, and the power of drawing on this free guided tour.⁣
⁣
