Maryland Food & Abolition Project
I have worked with the Maryland Food & Abolition Project on many social media projects. For their report release, “I Refuse to Let Them Kill Me: Food, Violence, and the Maryland Correctional Food System,” I identified key concepts from the 175-page report, drafted copy and created six Instagram carousel posts.
I have also illustrated four carousel graphic posts for MFAP’s Instagram — about forced labor in prison, solitary confinement, companies that profit off of incarceration, and the unintended consequences of prison gardens.
Additionally, I created promotional images and illustrated notes for a panel discussion MFAP hosted on Food Sovereignty & Abolition.
Food Sovereignty & Abolition Panel Event
When Maryland Food & Abolition Project hosted a panel
discussion, Food Sovereignty and Abolition, I listened to the program and created these visual notes, pulling out key quotes
and concepts showing how we can grow through carcerality
to revolutionary abolition.
Prison Labor Carousel Post
I designed this 10 slide carousel for Maryland Food & Abolition Project to as an infographic to convey how prison labor fuel’s mass incarceration in Maryland. I used the metaphor of a machine to represent the state’s carceral system, to make this complex idea easier to digest and understand. We used black and white for the first 9 slides to convey the bleakness of our carceral system, and added color to the last slide to add vibrance when discussing abolition and alternative visions for our communities.
