States of Incarceration Exhibit Launch and Documentary Screening

The documentary “1994” reveals the history of noncitizen detention in the United States with a focus on the development of immigrant detention in Arizona. Produced by historian Dr. Judith Perera, the film highlights significant policy changes and explores the reality for those within the system, raising broader questions about the relationship between migration and prisons in the United States. 

Afterward, join us for the launch of the national exhibition "States of Incarceration: A National Dialogue of Local Histories" on the second floor.

States of Incarceration is a project of the Humanities Action Lab, a coalition of universities led by The New School working with issue organizations and public spaces to create traveling public projects on the past, present and future of pressing social issues.
