S2 Ep. 9 | Lawyers for System Impacted Artists


Listen Later

In today's conversation I’m joined by the Executive Director of California Lawyers for the Arts, Alma Robinson. Alma beautifully details the comprehensive work that California Lawyers for the Arts is involved in, from programs like their pilot program Designing Creative Futures to their Youth Mediator programs held in 14 different schools in the Sacramento area. Alma shares from The Impact of Prison Arts Programs on Inmate Attitudes and Behavior the positive impact arts programs have had on the lives of incarcerated men and how the arts can serve a a deterrent for kids falling victim to the school-to-prison pipeline. She also talks on the impact of a recent film screening, A Woman on the Outside, hosted with Houston Museum of African American Culture.
