Recently VDS hosted an art exhibit featuring the works of three men serving in federal prison sentenced to death row titled, “The Art of Living on Death Row.” The exhibit raised important questions on issues of restorative justice, moral injury, systemic racism, and punishment and redemption. This series will extend those discussions—and artwork—beyond the VDS walls, engaging in dialogue with neighbors, ministers, activists, family members, and those interested in learning more about the experience of living under a sentence of death in the United States today.

This unique lifelong learning series at Frothy Monkey coffeeshop will feature the artwork and panel discussions, interviews, and Q&A with special guests and experts in the field. The conversations will be facilitated by Dr. Graham Reside, Assistant Professor of Ethics and Society the Director of the Prison and Carceral Studies Program at Vanderbilt Divinity School.
