Our first poster features "Remember Me in Words" by TT, a poem about self-definition set against a radiating black and white design. The poem begins: "Paint my portrait in a thousand words, / In every color of my poetry." TT demands recognition of complexity and refuses simplistic narratives: "Discard every tale you've ever heard / Of the perspectives that misrepresent me." These lines challenge media representations that flatten individuals into stereotypes, narratives that have historically justified mass incarceration policies. Lucy's design, a silhouette fractured by light rays, visually represents both incarceration's violence and transformation's possibility.
