Listening to her sweet voice telling her story: past and present. Listening to the music she listened to on her Sony Walkman while she was incarcerated. The dimensions of the canvas are 67 x 67 inches, the measurement of Syrita’s height and wingspan. My intention in making this painting was to express the essence of Syrita. Female. Fighter. A relentless advocate for women, an impassioned mother. An unstoppable force of nature. - Anastasia Pelias Star (for Syrita) Courtesy of Jonathan Ferrara Gallery, New Orleans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545499917383-NANVE0YE4BG5PU0FGAHF/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__21.jpg The Persisters - Syrita Steib You know, for a long time, women did not think that they had the right to own their bodies or to fight back or to make a fuss about something that's going on with them. And now women are fighting back from domestic violence or sexual assault or whatever it may be. And women are being criminalized because of that. I went to clemency hearings last week. And ten of the eleven women were domestic abuse survivors, and all ten of them were there serving life sentences for … standing up to their abuser. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545501630946-FL8I02LEJB84LEWOZQW2/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__19.jpg The Persisters - Dolfinette Martin [The hardest issue was] being completely powerless over what happens with your children, if you left children – I left five. My three sons all were brutally shot. I had a daughter who had run away and… refused to let anyone take my place in her life… For me, that's the hardest piece of being imprisoned, if you're a parent. Every day I worried about my kids. Every single day, every day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554150691577-FRXGBMEQAQQULZ08B4PW/_Q9A8053.jpg The Persisters - Artist Statement When I started this work series, I was interested in the exploration of ideas to create work about mass incarceration. I wanted to create work that could be broken down into components of video testimony and expression to create experiential pieces. In part, a portion of those components exist as an activist work in cyberspace. The pieces would allow formally incarcerated people to tell their own compelling stories. Prisoners of injustice could spark a movement of consciousness, raise awareness, and promote change. The process was filmed over four hours of interviews with five individuals. Through a series of meetings, I had chance to interview Dolfinette Martin. I wanted her words to be featured as a larger installation piece. I wanted to create a piece that served as a portrait, as an activist message, as a document of the impact of this type of loss of freedom to women. Through the portrait of Ms. Martin’s perspective and consequential work with women who have been incarcerated, the message of despair, injustice and deliverance is illuminated. I was moved by Dolfinette’s statement that all the risk factors–such as being poor, the lack of opportunity and lack of access to resources–were central to imprisonment; crimes had little to do with what was actually committed. This idea was profound, and it has stuck with me as a major social problem for us to resolve. - Carl Joe Williams Whispers to God, Being Here When Women Need Me to Be Here!, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554150795498-95B7CIYRG56CKA5KQ06E/_Q9A8072+copy.jpg The Persisters - Artist Statement Andrea Martin is a poet of her own struggle, and her words and images jolted my art into new ways. How to map out the harsh facts of her life to be seen and felt by strangers on the wall of a museum? The leftovers from our combined search are piles of scratch paper and canvas strips, scattered words and spattered paint, and scraps of crocodiles and snakes still lurking in my studio. But culled from talks on the phone and videos and photos, our experiences have combined to make us friends for life, and include Marilyn Wilson who has rescued Andrea more than once from the rainy street corners of New Orleans. Seth Ludman’s collaboration onsite made it possible for me to work on this piece from afar. - Henrietta Mantooth Andrea Martin, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545502206488-WBTFUKYDT0OIHAV4O52Q/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__08.jpg The Persisters - Andrea Martin How I came about being incarcerated was that I was a great big sinner. I was living the lifestyle of living the street life…My mom got hit by a car and my daddy was killed in his truck driving down a mountain. It caused pain to come into my life as a child ... and I didn't know how to deal with pain at such a young age. I was looking for love in all the wrong places. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554151790442-MWFX3N56P9AOTDHLITB9/_Q9A2371.jpg The Persisters - Artist Statement In the American justice system, a confession is considered the queen of criminal evidence. The most powerful piece in the strategy-based boardgame of chess, holds the title of the “queen” and the objective of the game is to place the opponent’s prized member, the “king,” under an inescapable threat of capture. There are many parallels to draw upon between chess and life. For example, the family dynamic where the man is viewed as the head of the household, yet the woman often does the work of maintaining the family dynamic. Another example would be polar battles of race and class, policing strategies and in this case, a queen sacrifice, to gain a favorable tactical position. At 19 years old, Bobbie Jean Johnson was suffocated and brutally assaulted in the inescapable confines of a New Orleans police station where they acquired the forced and coerced confession that lead to her life sentence in prison. Maintaining her innocence, for 40 years she had borne the weight of that conviction to finally live as a free woman today. - Rontherin Ratliff All Black & Blue, Bruises of a Queen's Crown, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545502822060-HT5OW4S732FYGPTWJLBU/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__01.jpg The Persisters - Bobbie Jean Johson As a child I was given up for adoption. While in a foster home I was molested, so I ran away. I went on the streets and I was just, from here to there, just trying to find love in all the wrong places. So one night I was riding with these two dudes in the car and I never knew the car was stolen and I never knew that he had a knife and a gun on him but the police stopped us… I was 19 years old. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545503262669-D56L3KDSC280CSYR9AVR/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__23.jpg The Persisters - Carmen Holmes I was being abused, and raped, and I just stabbed somebody. And being honest, being real, I got into a fight and I needed the money... But once I learned, now I teach my children how to control their anger. You know, if a person makes you angry then you walk away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545664936844-NRBTAQM4M1SB2YR6N9US/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__14.jpg The Persisters - Chasity Hunter I was riding in a car with my friend and he got pulled over for tinted windows and they didn't ask for his information at all, but I was sitting in the passenger seat and they asked for my ID. I didn't know my rights at the time and produced it. And they ran it. And they found four warrants, very, very exaggerated, warrants. Like two felonies, two misdemeanors, and they took me away. It felt like kidnapping. I was in high school at the time I was arrested; it was my senior year. It was the last month of school and I was very, very, very scared that I wasn't going to be able to finish high school because of the days I was missing. That was at the forefront of my mind, not being able to graduate high school. That was pretty scary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545665263820-6JY9K58IJP07APE9W4AN/The+Arrest+2018+Akerman+-+HR.png The Persisters - Artist Statement “The Arrest” is about a young woman’s experience in the New Orleans criminal justice system. Before filming, I knew that I wanted to describe Chasity’s experience of jail rather than answer everyone’s automatic question: “Why were you in jail?” “Why” seemed superfluous— her jail experience was horrific, far from a vision of justice. Yet in the editing process, almost every viewer wondered about the “why.” I added a title card. To me, the “why” matters only in so far as it begs another, bigger question: Does anyone, under any circumstances, deserve this kind of treatment? - Kira Akerman The Arrest, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545665514824-EEZTH2M558GT22Q6G29V/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__17.jpg The Persisters - Danielle Metz I think we all been through some kind of trauma, things that happened in our childhood, things that we never mentioned to anybody, or don't want people to know about ourselves, [like] being in an abusive relationship, you know? [We are] looking for love in all the wrong places, looking for a father figure through men that we probably think we can see our father through. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554152488134-UNFITKMYLE6WPNQFU8YF/_Q9A7956.jpg The Persisters - Artist Statement The portrait I painted of Danielle Metz for Per(Sister) is based on a recent photograph that she gave me to use for reference. I met Danielle when she was about 19 or 20 years old, before she went to prison. We reconnected earlier in 2018. Ever since President Barack Obama granted her clemency in 2016, I’ve wanted to paint her portrait. Danielle and I were both raised in the uptown Broadmoor neighborhood of New Orleans. She was one of my youngest sister’s best friends. Years ago, we actually discussed me painting a portrait of her mother. This painting of Danielle is connected to a series of portraits I started in 2010 called the “Injustice Exhibition”, which features a collection of work focusing on the lives of people in Louisiana who have been wrongfully convicted or harshly sentenced. When I started that project, I wanted to use art to bring greater awareness to the abuses of the criminal justice system, as well as the story of my son, Mac, who is an innocent musician presently incarcerated at Hunt Correctional Facility. “Steps to Freedom” is a related series I started in 2017, through the support of an artist residency with the organization Bar None. It uses the shoe as a symbol and that project has included workshops with incarcerated youth at various detention centers. I enjoy working with young people and anyone whose story needs to be heard. - Sheila Phipps It’s My Time and My Freedom, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554153941637-UUMH00MPH65MT70FZ2U5/_Q9A7960.jpg The Persisters - Artist Statement After reading about and then meeting Desiree’ Morrison, the key words that resonated with me were, “Ain’t No Pity Party Here.” As tragic as her story was, she still maintained what she needed to do next to survive, and not to sit in anger or self-pity. After making attempts, we came to the following common understanding in the way Ms. Morrison sees the world, and how my work describes in general terms the world and how we are all a part of it, and how we see ourselves in it. The world is made of many simple elements, as complex as it appears; each element is a part of the whole. Black and white are simple yet complex in their stark contrast. Charcoal is a simple material made from the burnt branches of a tree. I make marks with it on another simple material, cotton, to make a drawing. The key part is a portrait of Ms. Morrison, being lifted up in full color. There are several hands reaching in the main body of the drawing - representing the many that have helped her survive. Although she had many reasons to be down on herself and the rest of the world, it struck me in her interview and her life she kept her positive nature. “The only one who goes to a pity party is you.” - Ron Bechet No Pity Party, Saved, Broken, Called, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545665831960-54RUBB9Y2RQB2R1F7XTH/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__04.jpg The Persisters - Desiree Morrison You know the people that sit in the state capital, they make these decisions and make these laws, they don’t have a clue…. I shoplifted out of Winn Dixie on Claiborne, because I was nine months pregnant and nobody would give me a job. I had my first son and the son in my belly and both of them need to eat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554154991312-8S8M29VDXNE5IJ6RCMFD/_Q9A8043.jpg The Persisters - Artist Statement “St. Dianne of the 6th Ward” is an Afri-Galactic-Womanist piece built around the truth that one can be both Black and holy transcending past, present and future. Dianne’s life is inherently valuable and sacred. Dianne poses in a birthing position which is one of the most powerful positions of womanhood-to be in the position of creation. This is a prayer. We celebrate the sanctity of her life by intuitively infusing each glide of India ink with prayers and wishes over and into her life, her voice, her paths, her freedom, her womb, her presence, her desires of the heart, and her bold magic. Sainthood for Dianne is a continuous journey of becoming and unbecoming. May she continue to walk in assurance of her sanctity, grace and power from this day forward until the until. - Dr. Nubian OmiSayade Sun St. Dianne of the 6th Ward, 2018, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545666249611-V8FUN7LHEAE65Z2ORTOZ/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__07.jpg The Persisters - Dianne Jones I done witness so many deaths back here in this prison, it's just not right… I saw a lot of girls that was on lockdown having mental breakdowns. I saw a lot of women that came out of this place that was really physically broke…I had one guy tell me [that] I don't know what it feels like being a man being locked up, I say you don't know what it feels like being a woman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554155185918-YO9SSVHBT79YIBUMG0WD/_Q9A8011.jpg The Persisters - Artist Statement In 1865 when the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified, slavery was abolished; however, forced labor has remained legal under the circumstances of punishment for crimes. This artwork takes on the American flag as a compositional framework, and it brings a new interpretation to the stripes it bears by drawing visual associations to prison bars, chain gangs, and systems of confinement that have been in use since the middle passage and colonial era. Historic imagery sourced from the Internet captures the movement of imprisoned bodies across the Americas, and serves as a background for Dolita Wilhike’s portrait, in which she doubles as the political activist and scholar Angela Davis. “13th” attempts to express the raw determination, intelligence and strength of all women struggling for equality and freedom on American soil - particularly the generations of families who are suffering economically in Louisiana, seemingly with no end in sight. The linear brushwork suggests a compressed passage of time that functions as a loop. - Epaul Julien 13th, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545666614480-ZC93JABSXNG7TLP10JEK/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__03.jpg The Persisters - Dolita Wilhike The one thing about coming from prison is you have to be extraordinary ... Why? Because I have something to prove. When you show people who you are, they believe you. I've shown people who I am ... I'm the person that's walking around my job and in office doing paperwork and talking to a kid. People wonder why I'm so happy because I'm making $13 an hour and they're complaining that they're not making $20. Because I came from making six cents an hour. And that's why. I have to be extraordinary in everything that I do and that's it… My very first job, they let me go when my background came back. And I was an extraordinary worker by my boss's own admission. She was like "Dolita, you the only person I can count on." The insurance company wouldn't cover me because I was convicted for theft. And she was like, "They won't even cover you" she said, "I tried to fight for you so bad.” I was feeling so down and I could have easily resorted to what I knew, but this time I changed my mindset … we call it criminal menopause. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545666914261-M2WFFXPR7NMP6D3LCGGA/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__15.jpg The Persisters - Earlneishka Johnson When you're incarcerated, you live for any type of outside interaction, like whether it's just to go to court, you look forward to that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554155613245-AO82M4BSOJMR65JF2QRT/_Q9A7954.jpg The Persisters - Artist Statement I was immediately struck by Earlneishka’s empathy and her commitment to fairness. She wants to help other people, stand up, and speak for them when they can’t be heard. She was a high school athlete; in many ways these are the values of sports teams and team captains. Her time incarcerated comprised 1/12 of her young life at the time. 21 months, and she turned 21 inside. With this piece, I hope to pay tribute to her inner and outer beauty without muffling the harsh conditions she and others she described have endured. The central blood moon alludes to the passage of time: the measuring of sentences by months and women’s menstrual cycles. It is a symbol of constancy. Earlneishka’s image in the moon’s shadows references her strength and hard-won wisdom as well as her potential. She reaches out to connect, to help. In her interview, she spoke movingly of women giving birth in the prison system, miscarriages, even after release, and lack of prenatal care while incarcerated, as well as giving babies up immediately after briefly holding them in handcuffs. The specific trials of women in incarceration are enormous bodily and emotional stresses and sources of PTSD and grief. She said, simply, “We [women] are where you come from,” as she described gender-based excessive use of force and institutional failures of basic compassion. ‘Neisha’ describes herself as a baby when she entered the system. Her figure curled in the moon’s shadow represents her unfolding future as a person. She explained what it’s like to need basic things that must be purchased. If your family cannot get money to you, you look for ways to earn it. She cut off and sold her long hair and braided other women’s hair. Around the central moon, hair arranged like chain link fencing and molecular forms relating to the stress and fear of incarceration and chronic shortage of menstrual supplies resemble hive and honeycomb or trellis-like networks. Adrenaline is part of the fear and flight response when under extreme duress. Connections with others keep us whole. The paper petals and flowers are a collaboration made from Neisha’s words and handwriting, torn into fragments in a companionable process of cathartic symbolic relief. The remnants became petals; together we made flowers. - Lee Deigaard Persister Moon, 2018, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545667215026-XLDWN3OR2VSTJTUX5IIE/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__25.jpg The Persisters - Fox Rich When I'm in jail arrested on these two counts of jury tampering, they finally take me to the doctor so that I can be seen by my obgyn. And in the appointment, they do the ultrasound… I'm in handcuffs and shackles with an armed guard on my side and an armed guard outside of my door, and the obstetrician comes over and moves the handcuffs out of the way and does the sonogram and two hits pop up on the screen. And all I could do was burst out into this loud joyous cry… And as I laid there, in that cell in total solitude, I heard something that I had never heard before: it was the pounding of my heart. And I thought to myself, that as long as I got, as long as I got life in me… then I'll deal with whatever I have to deal with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554155716723-P91B7ZQZQYI4DU1UDKW8/_Q9A2291.jpg The Persisters - Artist Statement My artistic practice modulates among photojournalism, cultural documentation, personal and daily life, and constructed realities, all in an effort to tell stories of underrepresented communities in New Orleans and beyond. To tell Fox Rich’s story, I pulled from my fact-driven skill set that I learned as a journalist. After listening to one interview and then conducting another, I reinterpreted three of the most important events from Rich’s experiences with mass incarceration, a system she likens to slavery. My initial visualization was to stage an exact recreation of those moments. After deep consideration, I used constructed realities to more fully convey Rich’s emotions over the duration of her family’s combined two-plus decades of imprisonment, and reuniting with her husband, Rob Rich. For me, using constructed realities allowed a freedom to explore, investigate, and recreate factual events or issues that are not permissible in news. Jessika Thibodeaux portrays Fox Rich, and Myron Thibodeaux as Rob Rich. - L.

Only way you kept your clothes if you wash your clothes on your hands other than that, you didn't have clothes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554295934032-PRCJHKWSCWJ0A3UQRX33/_Q9A7976.jpg The Persisters - Artist Statement “Mass incarceration is, ultimately, a problem of troublesome entanglements. To war seriously against the disparity in unfreedom requires a war against a disparity in resources. And to war against a disparity in resources is to confront a history in which both the plunder and the mass incarceration of blacks are accepted commonplaces. Our current debate over criminal-justice reform pretends that it is possible to disentangle ourselves without significantly disturbing the other aspects of our lives, that one can extract the thread of mass incarceration from the larger tapestry of racist American policy.” - Ta-Nehisi Coates, “The Black Family in the Age of Mass Incarceration”, 2015, The Atlantic The patterned fabric in my paintings is used symbolically. For “Gilda’s Story” I used a flower pattern with roses that feels very “downhome” and Southern. This is a politically poetic painting and it engages Gilda’s real-life story in her own words, as she wrote them down for me during a recent visit to her house in November 2018. The lettering at the top is in Old English font and stylistically the text has a dialog with the American flag bunting which frames the piece, as if it were stage curtains for a grand presentation. The paper calendar at the bottom marks the dates in 2005 when Gilda served time in Orleans Parish Prison, including when she was transported to Angola Prison on a bus following Hurricane Katrina. She waded through chest-level waters and witnessed terrible things. Flying the flag upside down is signal of distress. Right now America is at time of crisis and war when it comes to discussing social-political issues. The upside-down flag in this painting symbolizes injustice in the penal system and carceral state. I learn more and more each day about how mass incarceration is a profit-making industry. A lot of the people incarcerated are no so-called “real criminals”; many have been dealing with drug use or drug abuse, not murder or robbery. No doubt, there are crimes committed, but mass incarceration is caused by taking the “let’s lock them up” attitude, rather than rehabilitation and solving the underlying issues of systemic racism and poverty. - Keith Duncan Gilda’s Story, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545668061507-1G18Y2J2ESBKHIYUXV2W/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__27.jpg The Persisters - Kimberly Shields Y’all gotta push until something happen, keep your focus, strive for what you want, keep ya head up and put God first. That’s what I’m now doing, because a person is the product of their own thoughts and right now, today, I just wanna be happy and hopeful. So today I can say I have thoughts that are happy and hopeful, because getting out of there I say “today I will make a difference,” and I’m gonna make a difference.

These periods, both internal and external and ranging from large to small components, are at their best transformative processes resulting in a release of emotional and physical confinement. The feat of releasing pain, relieving trauma, and progressively healing in spite of ongoing institutional racism, systemic discrimination, and structural stigma is an impressive display of dignity and defiance. Furthermore, to reach a higher level of consciousness where one is capable of the advocacy of awareness and forgiveness, is perhaps the ultimate form of sight and vision. - Ana Hernandez It has been said that, “to forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you,” 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545668882451-VMNWR1TY5Q0OFYVZ7GQW/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__11.jpg The Persisters - Kristina Lopez I was having some symptoms in jail, really wasn't feeling good… they asked me if I ever took an HIV test. I told them no, they asked me if I would like one and I told them, yes. And that is when I found out I was HIV positive…I have been living with HIV ever since then… When you go to prison, or when you go to jail they don't want to give you your treatment. They don't want to give you your medications, and you can end up dying in jail by the ignorance of, you know, the law… I had to wait until I got out of jail to get the care. They give you a paper letting you know that this is where you go to clinics and this is where you go for treatment. [They] don't have nothing else to do with it, just tell you you're positive and send you on your merry old way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545669103074-Q911YE6HEV9YV3XOMEYA/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__24.jpg The Persisters - Lea Stern That's the worst when you get out of prison and you have nowhere to go. That is the absolute worst. Because you've been in prison for how long? So you lost everything. You have no clothes; you have nothing… You’re starting to try and start life over, and you have to live exactly how they want you to live. They technically will not release you from prison if you don't have somewhere to go. So, you have to have somewhere to go to and they try to put you in these programs and then you get there and you find out, oh, well, it's not like the best program – or someone in the program is a creep… and they're making sexual advances at you and you're stuck at these places and you can't leave because you're there by probation… and then you're in a bigger mess than you ever imagined. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554296193269-4QEOYYNLCAGLY69NI0GN/Screen+Shot+2019-04-03+at+7.56.10+AM.png The Persisters - Artist Statement When I listened to Lea’s interview, what resonated with me was her sense of personal responsibility – especially in the account of her re-entry into society. Upon release, she was hosted at a mission and didn’t necessarily agree with the church’s advice. In her words, “You can't pray about my problems. I have to fix my problems. I have to be able to live and work and fix my problems… And I did, and I stayed clean, and I did everything I needed to do, and I got my kid back… I got myself a house, and I did everything I needed to do.” She took full responsibility for her own actions. What keeps people out of jail and prison is money, a good lawyer, a network, and maybe having some luck with the right judge who happened to eat lunch that day. When you get up to the stand, they make the decision. Prayer doesn't have to do with it. No disrespect to anybody who's religious, but like Lea said, she had to get up and work. She had to get her feet moving. A prayer wasn’t what got her a new spot or a job. It was simply her hard work. - Devin Reynolds Untitled, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545669452562-KC4T26BT5POLP4AKVOY7/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__12.jpg The Persisters - Mary McLeod I never knew my mom. She couldn't really provide for me… she lost oxygen to her brain and she just never was, you know, right? Like, the mom she needed to be with us… So I just started having to take care of myself and that's what really brought me to prostitution and drugs. And that got me incarcerated. That's what really did it is because I had to grow up too fast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545669711843-SOTINX0CQSR757NBS4AY/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__13.jpg The Persisters - Nicole Edwards The best thing I could have ever did was go to this rehab call the Shine Center… It was so many men, so I was just nervous and I would just be hushed but I had so much all down inside of me, and…gradually I started talking. I became a team leader over there, the motivation team. I start talking problems that happened that I didn't think that bothered me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545669825610-BYL06YWWY6QKRX8QOZB0/hinds%2C+maria.jpg The Persisters - Artist Statement “The Perilous Fight” invites the viewer to experience spaces in which Nicole Edwards lived and worked through the challenges of drug dependency. This piece offers a chronology of Nicole’s journey from addiction through rehabilitation including experiences of incarceration and re-entry during which she drew strength from her religious faith. Nicole vividly describes rooms and furnishings that capture key moments of this journey. Based on these recollections, I made small scale paper models of these rooms, which I then used as references for these interpretative drawings. The title draws from a lyric passage from the first verse of the Star Spangled Banner, evoking historical tensions between American ideals and Black realities. “Bedroom, Gentilly, New Orleans” (top left image) Nicole lived alone in an apartment in Gentilly when she was using drugs. She isolated herself from friends and family in order to conceal her habit. Nicole recounted keeping her drug paraphernalia in the open on her night stand, the only apparent sign of addiction in her otherwise pristine and newly furnished bedroom. Eventually, recognizing the need for intervention and strengthened by her faith in God, Nicole reached out to a friend and father figure who helped her find placement in a rehab center in Texas. The Cheyenne Center, Texas (top right image) Nicole’s time in Rehab empowered her with the structure and tools necessary to deal with drug dependency. Removed from the rest of society among a group of strangers, Nicole found a place and space to face her demons. Alternately comparing the facility to a prison and to a school, Nicole acknowledged that the Cheyenne Center helped “save her life”. “The Justice Center, New Orleans” (bottom left image) After Rehab Nicole got picked up by police in New Orleans behind some missed court dates from her past. She spent several weeks in the Justice Center in a two-person cell before being released. Her cellmate was Muslim and kept a copy of the Quran under his mattress, the only personal item that was allowed in the cell. Upon release Nicole worked with Women With A Vision counselling sex workers, and now works fulltime in a restaurant. “Greater St. Stevens Full Gospel Baptist Church, New Orleans” (bottom right image) Since childhood Nicole has been a member of the Greater St Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church in New Orleans East. Throughout her life challenges she remained connected to her spirituality and turned to her faith to help “cleanse the pain.” Nicole is particularly moved by the transcendent power of the choir, sitting close to the front to best enjoy the healing energy and music. - Maria Hinds The Perilous Fight, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545669992024-8S3YJQ2J4P49OLFRLVSV/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__09.jpg The Persisters - Ruby Barnes I had my one baby boy; I had him inside the prison system. That was hard. That's the worst thing you could do, when you be in a hospital and then somebody to come and take your child from you, you know. Even though it's your family member okay, the only time you held the child…you had to go in a certain room to hold your baby and [you could] stay in there but two days [at] most. One doctor extended my stay a couple of days so I could be with my baby, and then my sister came and got him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545670197039-2V8AQCYFN5UBI2FUK6RQ/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__16.jpg The Persisters - Shai Parker I'm just trying to figure out my next steps into getting my record expunged, because I can't really find a job that's going to, you know, trust me… people are not gonna want to hire me with type of you know background. But that's still a problem, because when you get your record expunged, that doesn't expunge it from the system like the judicial system. You know, police might still treat me harsh because they feel like I'm a bad person when they pull my name up. They could feel like they're in danger, or they have to treat me a certain way because this is the type of person I'm portrayed to be. And that might be for life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554296333873-ZQH51OF5QOXQQYO2VN48/_Q9A8009.jpg The Persisters - Artist Statement AYA – is a Ghanaian Adinkra symbol meaning Endurance. Shai Parker is rendered as a Sowei spirit mask used by the Sande Society of Sierra Leon in West Africa. These masks are used “ during rites-of-passage” ceremonies that signify a girl’s transition to adulthood.” These masks are commissioned and performed by the elder women of the Sande society. The endurance of pain as an element in rites-of-passage is a concept embraced by many cultural traditions. For this sculptural work, culturally enforced female circumcision is conceptually being replaced by incarceration. For all the women who have endured these transformative life events and have “re-entered society” there is an uncelebrated healing journey each woman will not face alone. For me this exhibition has granted me the opportunity to make connects to my role as an artist to the spirit of a Sowei who dances out an acknowledgement of newly gained power through endurance. - MaPó Kinnord AYA-Endurance, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545670401501-47B4JPE3U76K7R76LFB3/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__28.jpg The Persisters - Shondolyn Murray You miss a lot. I missed raising my children. I was in and out of their lives, you know? I wouldn’t be the mother that I should have been. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545670558960-WC7MVOQV5VXR4YPY4UKJ/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__18.jpg The Persisters - Tonja Isaac I did work the field when I first went out there and we planted squash, zucchini, potatoes, you know, a couple of things and you had to pick them and pull them. But something out there wasn't right, you know? That’s why they closed it down. And I had a young lady that worked out there, and her fingers had gotten black and got infected… a lot of people have died because a lack of adequate help and attention that they need dealing with their health. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554296452435-V6GIHB9EH8VIU4I0UNNT/_Q9A8021.jpg The Persisters - Artist Statement For this site-specific installation I have drawn from several aspects of Tonja’s story, including her descriptions of the unpaid garment work she did while incarcerated (ironically making prison uniforms for other prisons). In doing some further research I came to better understand Louisiana’s long-standing history with convict leasing and unpaid labor within the prison system. The idea of mass production through mass incarceration spun through my head as I decided to create an entire installation out of catalog photographs of prison uniforms, much like the ones Tonja had produced while in prison in a uniform of her own. I created a color palette to work from out of the plethora of color options available through “leading detention suppliers” online and set out to make work that looked into the realities women faced when serving time behind bars. One fact I learned early on though research compiled for this exhibition is that an estimated 80% of incarcerated women in the state of Louisiana are the sole caretakers of children under the age of 18. While Tonja and her son were older when she was sent to prison, she shared that she and her son were both released from separate prison sentences at the same time. I was struck by the idea of familial incarceration. Using these ideas, I created five traditional family portraits of incarcerated mothers and their young or soon to be children, framing them and placing them on top of wallpaper depicting the state flower. Each portrait, constructed meticulously out of hundreds of prison uniforms, intentionally obscures facial features and places families in generic visitation rooms, making commentary on the struggle to maintain one’s sense of identity and personal space while incarcerated and touch on the potential prescribed future of everyone depicted. - Amy Elkins https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545670871608-4UO639XVNUCTJ31C9MTO/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__20.jpg The Persisters - Tremica Henry I was induced early. I had the baby six weeks early to not have her born in a federal prison. I had a three-year-old daughter who had never left my side, not for a moment, and I remember her asking me, ‘Are you coming back?’… I always wanted to be there for my children, like nobody had been there for me. Being that person, took all that away in an instant. I didn’t see them for ten months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554296533256-H7BXMLKHWSI4K266WAVN/_Q9A7970.jpg The Persisters - Artist Statement This piece is inspired by the story of Tremica Henry. It is a symbol of her beauty, courage, and strength. Because most Pop Art depicts stories of white suburbia life, I felt it was important to tell Tremica’s story in a space where generally, women of color are not represented. When creating this piece, I used inspiration from Roy Lichtenstein because his style has not depicted women of color who are incarcerated. The child in the painting represents Tremica's children and the separation that mothers endure while being imprisoned. The cloud formation over the Superdome is a symbol of the devastation Hurricane Katrina brought at the time of Tremica’s incarceration, and the use of teal color surrounding the dome represents the horrific flooding from the storm. - Butch Frosch Tremica, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545671234192-CFS9GIDSD41B4TGS6HOP/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__30.jpg The Persisters - Tywanda Major I had to pay $750 to sign up for the diversion program so that it don’t go on my record. I had to pay $1,900 in restitution. I have to pay $60 every three months for drug tests and $75 for the theft class and it was just different things that didn’t, you know, that I don’t think fit the crime. Especially for somebody who didn’t do it, so they really didn’t want to hear anything it was just all about money. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545671414835-Z0186WCE07IYPJEKIWSV/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__29.jpg The Persisters - Veronique Williams It was horrible. They treat you like animals when you in there, you know. They act like you’re not even human, and then the food they serve, most of that stuff isn’t even edible so if you don’t have family to send you money for commissary, you’re basically just going to lose weight, and it’s just so hard… It’s like a mental thing with me [now]. If the police stop me, just pull me over I go to stuttering. I go to shaking. It’s like I’m traumatized by them. And I shouldn’t have to feel that way because they supposed to protect me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545676607640-8BBV79V4OKZPXPKK33NR/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__02.jpg The Persisters - Wendi Cooper I'm a transgender woman from the city of New Orleans. In 1999, I was charged with a crime that is very discriminatory against LGBT people in Louisiana… called the crime against nature statute… New Orleans Police Department had transgender women on the list of extinction, and they was utilizing this law to get rid of trans women and the LGBTQ people itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554296671150-4MVWG0LYWN6EPM23FAJW/_Q9A8040.jpg The Persisters - a Powerful Force I was excited to work with Wendi on this project. I had met her briefly making photographs for Operation Restoration where she is Programs Coordinator. I listened to Wendi’s interview and then spoke with her in person about making the artwork. She spoke about being a slave to the State of Louisiana because of the Crimes Against Nature law and how she would like to use the metaphor of slavery in America. She spoke specifically of shackles and on several occasions, spoke about art that is raw, making an impact, work that represents horrific events. I also wanted to show Wendi as the powerful force she is. During the photo shoot, she talked about being at a place in her life and at an age where she is ready to fight. I am looking forward to continuing to be engaged with Wendi by providing photographs of her events as she continues her work. She was a key figure in lawsuit that removed 700 women from the sex offender registry and now, she is tackling getting the Crime Against Nature by Solicitation laws completely repealed. - Tammy Mercure Wendi, 2018, lightjet prints https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545676958435-6M1EYD5VR01WLO1LFLMT/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__22.jpg The Persisters - Wilkeitha Washington I am 31 years old right now. I've been in and out of jail since I was 15, just making bad decisions, being a product of my environment....

The goal of this project is to put forth the humanity of incarcerated women while highlighting the inhumanity of the system. Most of the responses are every day objects that we take for granted such as a glass of water when we want it, or enough toilet paper. This project focuses specifically on women because they have a set of issues that are too often overlooked in an already overlooked topic. The system disproportionally affects women of color, and they often receive harsher sentences and worse treatment because of the sentiment that women are breaking both the law and social norms. It has a massive impact on children and families, and sexual assault factors into the equation both inside and outside the prison walls. The hope is to bring attention and compassion to these issues through creating these images. - Ryn Wilson Image I (blue) Response: shower and bathroom privacy, toilet paper, soap, pads, razors, personal hygiene products, perm, make-up Image II (pink) Response: family photos, hot food, clothes, TV show preference Still Human, Still Lifes: Yolanda Ford, I and II, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545677230479-K3VCL5KVM5WBULEXX3I7/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__05.jpg The Persisters - Yolanda Ford You know they times when we was in just right here at OPP, excuse me, intake – you're in a holding cell you might sleep in a holding cell for three days. You might get one roll of tissue paper for 30 women. You tell them you're on your cycle and it takes them hours to come… it was just so much… I just don't want to have to endure that no more… I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, I really wouldn’t. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1545677524074-2C4MYUN8T8DL9EG44CWW/NAM_AllisonBeonde_PerSister__10.jpg The Persisters - Zina Mitchell I had a baby at the age of 14. The first thing out of my mama’s mouth - you got a baby now, you need start making money. So I started hanging out, running away from home, and hanging with people, and the more I hung with the different people the more I learned different hustles. By age 17 I was stripping. By age 18 I was selling drugs… because I was the type of person, you took care your family, you did what you had to do, your children weren't supposed to work for nothing. So here my road down incarceration began. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1554296780843-G98913YOCNIWNO246LQ3/Screen+Shot+2019-04-03+at+8.06.01+AM.png The Persisters - Artist Statement “Zina’s Trials, Tribulations and Triumphs” is inspired by the distinct ceremonial attire created by people of African descent from New Orleans, debuted on carnival morning and worn during ritual neighborhood processions. Resistance and self-actualization are hallmarks of the tradition. The attire is characterized by narrative beaded images, feather design art and aurora borealis Swarovski rhinestone design embellishments. The suit is the culmination of positive visioning, reflections and artistic brainstorming focused on experiences that include: rights-of-passage, loss, regret, triumph, redemption, sorrow and joy. In other words, the human experience. The end result not only meets the tradition standard of being “pretty,” it tells Zina’s story through African symbolism, metaphors and narrative beadwork. The story is told primarily on the shoulder stole and the feathered headdress, referred to as a crown. Zina was involved in every aspect of the suit’s creation. After all, it is her story. Initially, I was going to wear the suit. But, during the process, it was mutually decided Zina should wear the stole and crown because they depict her STORY. As Queen Cherice, I wore the dress and shoes which serve as the foundation for the suit and the collaboration between the three of us. Also, suits are created to be worn in the community and not debuted on a mannequin. Wearing it serves to put good medicine/Juju in it for Zina, but also for those who are fortunate enough to interact with it by viewing it during the exhibit run. The suit includes ancient Adinkra symbolism, a butterfly beaded by the Flag Boy Isaac “Ike” Edward, a Christian Cross, a caged bird charm, cowrie shells, padlock, star, flame, crystal teardrop among other images of significance. The suit will be ceremoniously placed on the mannequin by Zina herself at the exhibit opening, following a ceremonial procession. Thus, bringing the traditions of a uniquely New Orleans community-based culture to the Newcomb Art Museum of Tulane University. - Cherice Harrison-Nelson Zina’s Trials, Tribulations and Triumphs, 2018

Women (LCIW) was flooded and the women residents were evacuated to facilities all over the state. At the same time, The Graduates, a performance ensemble of formerly incarcerated women that had grown out of the LCIW Drama Club, received a fellowship from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation to support a state tour of their new performance, “Won’t Bow Down!”, and to create a large visual gesture that would bring attention to the issues surrounding the mass incarceration of women in Louisiana. Drama Club and Graduates Directors Ausettua AmorAmenkum and Kathy Randels were unable to see the women (whom they had taught once a week since 1996) because of the displacement. Finally in September 2017, AmorAmenkum and Randels were able to enter Hunt Correctional Facility, next door to LCIW, where approximately one fourth of the population had landed. The Graduates had begun to envision The Life Quilt, an honoring of all the women serving life sentences by hand sewing their names into a quilt. The women on the inside loved the idea, and Drama Club Inside-Director, Selina Anderson, gathered the names of each woman, as well as asking them to answer this question: “What do you want the world to know about your freedom?” Each woman’s name was hand-sewn with love and a prayer for her release by Golden Feather Hunters, Creole Osceola, Washitaw Nation, Wild Magnolias, Cheyenne Hunters, Young Masai Hunters and Kathy Randels. Some of these women have already been released including Ivy Matthis and Bobbie Jean Johnson. The Life Quilt represents women who were put together not by their own choice, but by circumstance. In spite of this, they have developed their own sense of community and family on the inside. The quilt invites you to celebrate this family. – The Graduates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1551129811480-U4TC0WX3JCLNU9ATNKVN/_Q9A8114.jpg Root Causes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1551130299067-NFAGEEVRD8ZBHP4EGIRU/_Q9A8093.jpg Root Causes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1551130521294-FR518YOOZ8XICZBN0LNZ/_Q9A7799a.jpg Root Causes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1551130491232-73HM0Y7MAQBTCDSCCWW1/_Q9A8089.jpg Root Causes https://www.persister.info/healthbodies daily 0.75 2019-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1551131105940-8ID4MZYU6RHRBONEDJYE/_Q9A7844.jpg Health/Bodies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1551131117861-X61XZ46R1ACRQ562VOGJ/_Q9A7771a.jpg Health/Bodies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1551131205539-AIY4DH3I2R2W031F9MJC/_Q9A7853.jpg Health/Bodies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1551131272941-42YY1RGI8II7G5LV0QK0/_Q9A7773aa.jpg Health/Bodies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1551131056168-MRKHCCL8M6ETX0LV7DLF/PerSister1.jpg Health/Bodies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc622932727be64608c3440/1557948502295-SPZGC8SF4E9T6MSHG4MW/_Q9A8081.jpg Health/Bodies - Transcription, Drawing from Brandy Holmes Portrait of a Per(Sister) In dedication to all the 1s I love. “This particularly tough situation – He is all power and this too I shall overcome.” John 4:19-26 Transcription, Letter from Brandy Holmes September 3, 2018 Monday, 6:18 pm Dear Ms. Blereau, Good Evening Ma’am! Sorry for the delay in my vision of my self-portrait. I wanted to go a different frame with New Style Art and make it playful, but keep it close to me. Will you accept this as is? The warden here was a great pain in my backside as well. She only gave me a day to put my thoughts together and to draw what I will. And I’m assuming this will get to you, because I have to leave it with her to be mailed out. So if it’s not too much to ask, once you get this can you call Mrs. Caroline or write to me, letting me know you received it? Thank you, for allowing me to have this Blessful Moment. And thank you for caring about people like me. May God bless you and yours. And I hope the showing of all the art and this exhibition is all you and the Newcomb Art Museum expects it to be. Thank you again and good night.

A Solitary Garden for Incarcerated Moms, on view outside at the museum entrance, is a collaboration with dozens of presently incarcerated women in Louisiana who identify as mothers. Plants nurtured here represent specific people introduced to the project via formerly incarcerated community members. The central 6’x9’ aluminum frame of this sculpture maintains the blueprint of a standard U.S. solitary confinement cell. The twelve flowers in this project were chosen for their hardiness in our region’s growing zones. Incarcerated mothers were encouraged to each choose one flower meaningful to them.
