Juan Hernandez & Mai Tran

In this social practice work, incarcerated Chicago artist Juan Hernandez asked Latino artists at Dixon Correctional Center to respond to the prompt "What's your story?” in the form of art or writing. He collected their responses, and printed them on the front of a postcard. These cards are displayed publicly so 14th Street passersby can browse and write or draw responses to whatever story calls to them. The postcards will be collected and mailed back to the incarcerated artists, providing a rare opportunity for them to share their stories and receive feedback and correspondence.
