On March 31st, the Lang Theater hosted a showcase from the HAL Narrative Change Fellowship in collaboration with the Rikers Public Memory Project. IMA student Jesse Allain-Marcus worked with fellow Turquoise to shoot and edit a piece centered on incarcerated women and their own frameworks for healing. Seeing Turquoise on stage, radiant, dressed in her signature turquoise, was a highlight of the night. We are proud to have IMA students and faculty be part of this work. 🩵🎬 Photos by Prof Betty Yu #HALFellowship #RikersPublicMemoryProject #NarrativeChange #IMA Storytelling
