Centering the voices of the currently and formerly incarcerated, works from 80 contributors visualize a prison-free futurePublished with Institute of the Arts and Sciences at UC Santa Cruz and San José Museum of Art.Prisons are so ingrained in history and the cultural imagination as to appear inevitable. Yet as long as prisons have existed, alternative rehabilitations have flourished. Seeing through Stone accompanies the largest-ever exhibition emerging from the movement for prison abolition in the United States. It draws its title from a work by poet Etheridge Knight (1931–91), who wrote his first collection while incarcerated at Indiana State Prison. The art and texts in this catalog explore this shared capacity for the radical sight permeating through prison walls and include contributions from artists, writers and activists both currently and formerly incarcerated, alongside those without that lived experience. Over 80 artists and collectives from around the world contribute work, while the original texts are authored by such activists as Robin D.G. Kelley and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson.

A beautifully produced introduction to Akashi's multimedia meditations on precarity and historyThe first scholarly monograph on Los Angeles–based Kelly Akashi (born 1983), Formations encompasses Akashi's wide-ranging multimedia practice over the past decade. Much like the artist’s own work, the catalog cultivates relationships between objects and materials to investigate how they can actively convey their histories and potential for change. Featuring a faux-leather hardcover binding with a gold foil titling and paper changes throughout, the publication follows the artist from graduate school to more recent research into the inherited impact of Japanese Americans’ incarceration during World War II.Akashi’s works in glass, cast bronze, multipart installations and photographic contact prints are given further context through scholarly essays. Along with extensive plates and installation photography, the book includes a new photography project by Akashi, a record of her scavenging for history in the site of her family’s imprisonment in a WWII Japanese American incarceration camp.
