Go inside the California Rehabilitation Center in Norco and witness 十大赌博靠谱信誉的平台’s Arts in Corrections program in action in this video produced by Eric Coleman. As part of their 13-week program, artist residents specializing in Afro-Colombian percussion and son jarocho music traveled to the state prison every week to teach the techniques and histories of their art forms. More importantly, these artists brought with them the opportunity for inmates to gather together, participate in a culture-affirming practice, and contribute their music and skill toward a communal experience. Watch the video to learn how the shared space of art-making in the context of incarceration has affected the students and the teachers, reminding us all of our connections to one another in the face of isolation.
