Opening Party: Beyond The Storm - Resistance to a Living Death Sentence
A showcase of new paintings and longstanding advocacy by Patrick H.
Patrick Hughes is a painter, poet, and sentencing reform advocate from New York. This installation will feature a series of Hughes’ landscape and nature scenes together with a selection of letters exchanged between himself and New York legislators in his years-long fight for the Second Look Act, the Earned Time Act, and the Elder Parole Bill. His paintings capture the beauty and expanse of nature, while his letters reflect the many constraints faced by those advocating for their freedom from within the prison. Paired together, and accompanied by a selection of his poetry, this installation will speak to Hughes’ enduring hope and the persistence required to actualize anti-carceral visions of freedom.

Film Screening: Cultural Capital
The documentary CULTURAL CAPITAL interrogates New York City’s status as an “art capital,” tracing the shift from experimental practices to a market dominated industry. Through artists and critics, it examines how artistic production is entangled with economic power and urban transformation, revealing a struggle over whether art can still challenge the forces reshaping the city. Filmmaker Malcolm Hearn will be present for Q&A.
Save Prosfygika: Film Screening, Discussion and Outreach
Come watch a few documentary shorts about the Community of Squatted Prosfygika and participate in group discussions on the potential for international solidarity in our local communities.
The Community has existed for 16 years and is made up of more than 400 residents, including 50 children. Many are refugees and migrants: residents come from 27 different nationalities, speaking 20 different languages.
In this time, the Community has flourished and survived several eviction attempts, in the process turning this small quarter of Athens into a hub for revolutionary internationalism and collective life. Today this fabric of solidarity and communal life is under serious threat. Let’s stand in solidarity with them and all communities in struggle!
Now two comrades are on hunger strike unto death in defense of life, the life of the Community. We are with them as they struggle to the end.
