University of Michigan lecturer Isaac Winfield created the concept and works with photography students who collaborate with men in prisons to tell a self-reflective story through art.

The exhibition will be on the corner of Liberty and Main streets. It is organized by The Prison Creative Arts Project, Michigan Radio, and the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair--one of the three fairs to make up Ann Arbor Art Fair.

It was at the Detroit Historical Museum between February and May 2023.
