Drop in for this free hands-on printmaking workshop led by Da Vinci Art Alliance artists Felisa Adderley and Joy Lai, that is centered around topics of mass incarceration. Participants will have an opportunity to print postcards from carved blocks and add collage elements and typewriter text, then mail them. In conjunction with The Warehouse: a Visual Primer on Mass Incarceration. 

Participants will be able to use the collection of hand carved stamps to create an image or message of encouragement. The resulting postcards will be donated to the Human Rights Coalition, who will send them out with their letters to incarcerated people during their next letter writing workshop on September 12 at 6pm at the Drexel Writer's Room.

The Human Rights Coalition (HRC) empowers prisoners' families to be leaders in prison organizing, to teach them how to advocate on behalf of their loved ones in prison, and to expose the inhumane practices of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. HRC hosts monthly letter writing nights every second Thursday of the month to show solidarity, love, and support to our people trapped behind prison walls. Join them this coming month on Thursday, September 12 from 6-8pm at the Drexel Writer's Room (229 N 34th St., 3rd Floor) for our next letter writing night.
