LAS 420 - Searching for the Good Life through The Long Term 3 Credit Hours
In the fall of 2019, Dominican University’s O’Connor Gallery will host Prison + Neighborhood Arts Project (PNAP)’s The Long Term, an exhibition consisting of multimedia art that emerged from classes and collaborative work out of Statesville prison from 2016-18, led by artists, writers, and members of PNAP. The theme of the exhibition centers around people serving extraordinarily long prison terms (60, 70, and 80 years) and the effects these sentences produce: long-term struggles for freedom, long-term loss in communities, and long-term relationships behind the prison wall. Through the lens of the show’s content, its programmatic offerings (i.e. visiting artist performances, workshops, screenings, and discussions), long-form peace circles, and the main text Aristotle’s Ethics, students will engage and grapple with the idea of the “good life” by creating dialogue, writings, and their own visual responses through Risograph prints.
Prerequisite(s): Senior standing.
