Emily’s project, entitled LifeLines: Voices Against the Other Death Penalty, is a media/cultural project intended to inform and transform the nature of public discussions and understanding of Life Without Parole (LOWP) sentencing in Pennsylvania. Emily will conduct written and audio interviews with people serving life in Pennsylvania, which she will use to create sound installations and a pamphlet as tools to inform campaign strategy, educate, and generate dialogue with people across the state. Emily believes that successfully defeating LWOP will require a profound cultural shift as well as artistic collaborations that engage people on both sides of prison walls.
