Detroit faces the same dilemma as many cities across America:
How can neighborhoods revitalize without displacing the people who live there?
How can communities remain cohesive when migration and mobility are such fundamental American values –
and often an economic requirement? Outsiders are both a threat and a necessity.
Artists are often used as the first wave of gentrification.
This exhibit follows a project that brings together art, architecture, and community action,
transforming a set of abandoned buildings in Detroit into a Moroccan Riad –
a small cluster of homes and businesses around a central courtyard with a shared entrance.
The Ghana ThinkTank has teamed up with faculty from SUNY Purchase College, SUNY Buffalo,
and SUNY New Paltz, as well as several Detroit neighborhood organizations to form a land trust that
seeks to retain neighborhood residences and businesses in the midst of a gentrifying neighborhood.
On Thursday, March 3 at 1pm, there will be a Theater of the Oppressed Workshop and panel
at the Passage Gallery on the intersection of Art, Architecture, and Community Action.
This exhibition is supported by Purchase College and The SUNY Arts and Humanities Network of Excellence.

Life After Life in Prison: A Photo Essay by Sara Bennett
September 8 - October 18, 2015 | Reception Tuesday, September 8, 5 - 7pm

Life After Life in Prison examines the lives of four women - Tracy, Keila, Evelyn, and Carol -
as they return to society after spending anywhere from 17 to 35 years in New York State’s
maximum security prison for women. While each of their stories is unique,
they illuminate many of the problems inherent in today’s criminal justice system.

Please join us on Tuesday, September 8 at 5:00 for a reception for the artist and her subjects,
who will talk about their experiences re-entering society after decades behind bars.
Life After Life in Prison is sponsored by the Sociology Board of Study
of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Purchase College.
