The Canisius College Department of Sociology presents “Cellblock Visions,” a slideshow presentation/lecture by artist Phyllis Cornfield on Wednesday, October 10 from 7:00 pm in the Regis Room South of the Richard E. Winter ’42 Student Center. The event is free and open to the public.
“Cellblock Visions” is a lively collection of inmate artwork, created behind bars, from county jail to death row. Men and women inmates, who have no previous training, turn to art for a sense of self-worth, an opportunity to vent and a way to find peace.
Kornfield is an internationally -known prison art expert. She will present powerful images and eloquent quotes that reveal this unseen subculture and reveal the human faces of its inhabitants. Previously a K-12 and college art teacher, Kornfield has taught art to prison inmates for nearly three decades. She is a graduate of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and The Philadelphia Museum College of Art.
