On display at UJC 11/1/15 – 6/19/16

Our very first Art@UJC exhibition featured the artists Favianna Rodriguez and Gregory Sale — two of the most dynamic artists working today at the nexus of art, social justice and policy. The exhibition challenged conventional views of formerly incarcerated people, migrants, and economic & gender rights advocates.

With UJC Safe Re-Entry Advocate Johnny Perez, Social Worker Susan Goodwillie, and curated by Marisa Morán Jahn, these new bodies of work launched UJC’s role as an incubator of socially-engaged works alongside vital social service programs.
