Prison Poster Project
About Us
The Prison Poster Project (PPP) is a collective of artists & activists working in collaboration with prisoners across the U.S. Our mission is to create a public education tool to expose how the prison industrial complex affects our diverse communities and to challenge current reliance on prisons as a solution to social problems. With imprisoned artists, we are creating a portable mural that will be used by prison activists, educators, the incarcerated and community leaders. We choose to use art because art makes knowledge accessible across age, race, class, gender and geographic lines. Through this project, we can amplify the voices of many that go unheard. and generate visions of a more just and caring world.
