Scott Langley's Death Penalty Photography Documentary Project at BU on November 12
The newly printed Troy Davis Execution photo series is heading for its second exhibit this fall - November 4, 5 and 6 in Charlotte, North Carolina. It just wrapped up in Kansas City last weekend. November 12 it will be at Boston University. If you are in the areas of these shows, come check it out. I will be at the NC and Massachusetts showings.
Scott Langley's Death Penalty Photography Documentary Project has been hugely inspirational to me and my work this semester. The photographs from the night of Troy Davis' execution, specifically, are incredibly emotional; all the emotions of that night resurface . I stood in solidarity in Harvard Square during his hearing on Monday and his final execution night on Wednesday. Scott Langley's photos from those nights share with us what was happening in Georgia. I connect these photos to what we had on live stream from Democracy Now on Wednesday, September 21.
I will be attending Amnesty's Northeast Regional Conference this weekend. I am greatly looking forward to seeing Scott Langley's photographs and meeting with him on Saturday. I will be co-facilitating an Arts and Activism workshop, on Saturday, with Brendan Shea from the American Repertory Theater. This workshop will be based on Prometheus Bound, how the play relates to current topics, and the expression through the arts. I will also be working with the Action for Afghanistan Kites for Women's Rights. For this action, we are creating designs for kites with messages in support of women's rights in Afghanistan.
