I worked with The SOZE Agency to produce the 25th anniversary celebration of the Bard Prison Initiative at St. Ann's Warehouse. The evening included a beautiful program hosted by Angie Martinez and featured esteemed BPI alumni and leaders like Susan Burton Desmond Meade, Gwen Walz, Crystal Hudson, Kamilah Forbes, Vivian Nixon and many more. Ending the programming was a surprise performance by Fogo Azul and a set by DJ D Nice. Event activations and highlights included a portrait studio with Devin Allen, customized books from a takeaway library, a photo gallery celebrating 25 years at BPI, a scrolling commencement speech projection installation, and a breezeway graduation tassel sculptural installation.
