Watch this short doc on the Groundswell’s Community Mural Project, and the way art is tackling mass incarceration and the Prison Industrial Complex in Brownsville, New York – documented by Thirteen public television station. Did you know 1 in 12 Brownsville men between the ages of 16 to 24 are in prison?

“Since 1996, Groundswell has brought together artists, educators, activists and youth to create collaborative public artwork across New York City. Every mural has a central theme — meant to give expression to underrepresented ideas and perspectives, and to better the lives of both neighbors and artists alike.”https://www.facebook.com/GroundswellMural
